Salem Historic Haunted Sites
Famous worldwide as the epicenter of the tragic 1692 witch trials, Salem, Massachusetts, is one of the most historical and paranormal cities in the United States. Beyond the historic hysteria that claimed the lives of twenty innocent victims, this historic New England coastal port boasts centuries of maritime history, Revolutionary War heritage, and literary fame. Key haunted landmarks — including the Howard Street Cemetery, the Old Burying Point, the Witch House, Gallows Hill, and Turner's Seafood (site of the old Salem jail) — draw millions of dark tourism enthusiasts and paranormal investigators annually.
