Night Watchman Tours: Halloween 2025

Fires and Spirits, Ruffians and Corpses! Join us if you dare!

This October, escort a Night Watchman as they make their lantern-lit, nightly round, through the historic grounds of Old Salem. Investigate
true stories from records past exploring spirits, fires, ruffians and corpses.

Come explore the original buildings where tragedy struck and mysteries were created. Step back in time and learn first-hand about the fear and uncertainty residents of Salem encountered when confronted by the unknown.

Our night watchman will lead you on their lantern-lit nightly round where you will learn about Salem’s most famous ghost and examine incidents of suspense, mystery and horror – all taken from the records of Salem’s history.

How did the early settlers of Salem deal with the dark dangers and unsettling suspense of their time? And how did they try to understand the supernatural phenomena that haunted their nights?

This Halloween, put on your cloak, grab your lantern and join the night watchman on a tour through Salem’s quiet streets experiencing the chilling truths and ghostly legends that once haunted the town of Salem.

Participants please note: This exciting tour includes an in-depth exploration of supernatural phenomena and is intended for a mature, suspense-seeking, audience ages 10 and older. This walking tour takes place partially outdoors where guests will encounter uneven streets and buildings with stairs.
