When you hear people talk about Salem, often times the first thing that comes to mind is Witches, and Halloween, and ghosts and spooky fun, but there's so much more lurking in the shadows. Salem is nearly 400 years old and just like all of us, it has a dark side. An underbelly wrought with stories for the ages. Join us for our 90 min evening walking tour as we wander through the shadows and hear stories about pirates and pepper, secrets of the oldest cemetery in Salem, brutal murders, strange legal battles, curses, spiders, torture, and of course a ghost story or two. We invite you to be part of our story and Uncover Salems dark past. -All tour guides are licensed by the City of Salem and are professional storytellers .

Jeffrey’s tour was a blast! He delivered a ton of information, from history to pop culture influences, in a delightfully cheeky manner. Murder, literature, and information about beds - all there. The walk itself is very accessible and covers a variety of historical places. We had a group member who required an electric wheelchair, and they were able to navigate the sidewalks and streets with ease. As an aside, I highly recommend listening to his podcast, Salem The Podcast, to enhance your experience further. I learned so much about Salem thanks to Jeffrey and his podcast partner, Sarah. If you want an evening of historical entertainment that is delivered in a fun way and an intimate group, Jeffrey is your guy.

Very knowledgeable tour that brings history and storytelling together. He showed the passion for his love of performing while providing facts with pictures that verified the historic building's and their legends. Very informative and well thought out on the presentation.

Tired of oversaturated witch and ghost tours? THIS IS FOR YOU! Jeff will teach you about other dark and unique parts of Salem in a historical, contemporary, and fun way. He sprinkles in humor appropriately, without undermining the facts he so eloquently presents. It is refreshing!
