This tour is only given by Krystina, a historian specializing in the history of witchcraft that has presented academically both nationally and internationally. This tour will talk about the darker side of Salem's history: the reality of the witch trials (both within and out of Salem), the Old Witch Gaol, the old County Jail, and the victims of the Salem witch trials. This is an adult tour. We will discuss injustice, true crime, deaths, executions, the history of witch trials and mistreatment of individuals of various races, religions, and genders. I am not doing so with the intention of being obscene or extreme in any way, nor am I doing it for shock value. It is simply my passion to tell the history as close to reality as I can. I look forward to sharing the darker side of this beautiful city with you. Prepare for your trip in advance by listening to my podcast Effed Up History!

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Can I bring my teenager?

A: This tour is geared towards adults due to the mature themes discussed, including executions and injustices from the witch trials. However, Krystina does allow older teens (16+) if they're interested in history. Just be aware that the content can be pretty intense, so it's best to gauge your teen's comfort level beforehand.

Q: Can this experience be rescheduled if something comes up?

A: Yes! Krystina is pretty flexible with rescheduling, especially if you provide at least 48 hours notice. Just reach out to her directly through the contact info she provides when you book.

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Any recommendations?

A: Comfort is key! Wear walking shoes since there’s a fair bit of walking involved around Salem. Also, check the weather because some parts are outdoors. Layers are a good idea because it can get chilly in the evenings!

Just Booked the Salem Witch Trials Tour!

I just booked the Historian's Guide to the Salem Witch Trials with Krystina for next month! I'm super excited but also a bit nervous about how intense it might be. I've heard she really dives deep into the darker aspects of the trials. Has anyone else done this? What should I expect?

Anyone Tried the Salem Witch Trials Tour?

Thinking of gifting the Historian's Guide to the Salem Witch Trials to a friend who's into history. Is it worth it? How long does the tour usually take? I've heard Krystina is amazing!
