Best ghost tour yet - My girlfriend and I go to Salem every year and make sure to do a ghost tour every night, and this was by far the most fun we’ve ever had. Our tour guide Johnny was the best guide as he was knowledgeable, funny and most of all interested in what he was saying. Definitely would recommend if you want to have a great time in Salem. Plus might have took a photo of a ghost so bonus

A valuable addition to our trip! - Our guide was exceptionally well-versed in the ghost lore and very personable. He answered our questions and we all had a great time. It was my first trip to Salem, but my friends had been there multiple times. 5 stars! Highly recommend!!!

it was ok. im certain you can find better. - i did learn some things about salem so i am appreciative of that but it wasn’t the best tour ive been on. it was halloween and the tour guide was in what i believe were his pajamas. he didn’t seem to care too much about being a guide bc he was reading from a script. ive been on many other tours and most people know what they’re saying and don't use a script. he also seemed bitter about the tourism aspect of salem, especially surrounding halloween.

If you're gong to do this, sell it to us. - Our guide was nice and we are grateful. He mentioned he didn't believe any or this and we respect it because we feel the same. We tipped him well as we are appreciative that he came out for us. But the only thing we would ask is "sell this to us". None of us believe this, but sell us the experience. We don't believe any of the scary movies that are out there, but the directors and actors sell it. And the best one's prevail. But in his defense, though it's sad that Salem's export are tied to the unfortunate event of the witch trials, but come up with material that is believable and not made up junk. It'd be nice if people had some understanding of the afterlife, such as they don't see themselves as dead. In fact, they don't like being referred to as 'dead'. They view death as a rebirth away from the trials and aging body that they experienced here. But they love and miss their families.
