I’ve already wrote an article about Salem, its history and the most interesting places to visit there today, but, what if you’re going in October?
If you happen to be in Salem, one of the most connected places in the world to Halloween and witchcraft, you would have plenty of interesting stuff to do and experience. A one of a lifetime experience if you are there is without any doubt haunted tours. Here are some tips about the best Salem tours in this period.
One of the best tours you can experience is the Bewitched After Dark tour, an historical tour that has as motto “Where the History is more Frightening than the Fiction”. On the Bewitched Historical Tour, you will learn about 1692 hysteria and witch trials, ghosts and haunted locations, Salem’s colonial history and present day witchcraft. The guide Jeff is a history major, so he will give you a lot of interesting and mystic info about everything Salem related. The tours are approximately two hours in duration and are entirely outside, so this is a unique experience.
