- Houdini Way - This is where the tour meets and the site of our first story. The building here is the historic site where Harry Houdini performed an escape act from the Salem Jail in 1906.
- The Burying Point - Historic Location. Dating back to 1637, this is the oldest burying point in Salem. We will hear stories of the infamous dead, spiders, and lost corpses.
- Gardner-Pingree House - Historic Location. This is the site of one of the most infamous murders in American history. In 1830 this is where Captain White was murdered in his sleep, the news of the murder swept across America and is remembered even to this day.
- 10 Federal St - Historic Location. Our story takes place near the historic location where the Old “Witch Goal” (Jail) once stood, which was described as a purgatory for the living. We will also be within sight of the unknown location of where Giles Corey was tortured to death in 1692.
- Salem Old Town Hall - A historic building in its own right, it’s also a filming location for the 1993 Halloween classic Hocus Pocus. Do you know what was filmed here?
- Joshua Ward House - Historic location. Arguably one of the most haunted locations in Salem, George Washington once stayed here. But it’s the site on which the building now stands that is of legal and spectral interest.
