BOOK NOW!!!!! - My fiancée and I took the Spirits, Sinners and Scandals tour on Nov 2, 2023 with Violet. After speaking with Beth and her being so so kind and gracious accommodating our needs, she told us we would love Violet and we did!! She was young, fun, and SO knowledgeable. Her stories were so crazy about all the history in Salem. While telling us a scary cemetery story that you may catch the spirit with a flash photo, some random person started walking across at the moment the flash went off scaring the life out of us!!!! A great moment. Will recommend Beth and her team tenfold to all visitors. We’re happy to have booked this tour and enjoyed a night of fun.

Not scary - Was not scary at all. I thought because it was an adult tour that it would have been scary or was it only an adult tour because she swore?
