Halloween in Salem, MA in 2026

The Ghosts of Salem Tour

Ghost City Tours

The company's family-friendly option, and the one to pick if anyone in the group is under sixteen. Prices start at $29.99.

The Requiem For Salem Ghost Tour

Ghost City Tours

The adults-only counterpart, five dollars dearer and meeting in the burying ground rather than outside Old Town Hall. Prices start at $34.99.

The Salem Witch Trial Tour

Ghost City Tours

The company's own comparison table calls this one a history-first walk and not a ghost tour, which is unusually honest labelling for Salem in October. Same price and length as their family option, so the choice is genuinely about what you want rather than what you can afford.

Ghosts, Witches & Wicked Whispers of Salem

US Ghost Adventures

The company's flagship Salem walk, and the one its own site pushes hardest. It publishes no price, length or start time anywhere on that page — everything lives inside the booking widget — so the numbers here stay blank rather than borrowed from a resale listing.

Salem Ghosts Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl

US Ghost Adventures

Not to be confused with the Boston pub crawl of the same name — that one is also US Ghost Adventures, while Boston's Ghost City Tours crawl is a different company entirely. Salem's version stops at licensed premises, so bring ID.

Specters & Apparitions

Witch City Walking Tours

A ghost-hunting tour rather than a storytelling walk — equipment is supplied and you use it. Its operator's own listing gives the length as 90 minutes but no price.

Salem's Witch Trial History Tour

Wicked Awesome Tours

History-led rather than ghost-led, from a small Salem operator whose site lists three tours and prices none of them. Worth a look if you want the trials told straight and the hauntings kept to the side.

Haunted Footsteps Ghost Tour

Salem Historical Tours

Running since 1997 and the closest thing Salem has to an institutional ghost tour. $29.75 adult, $26.50 for seniors, students, military, and Salem residents, $20 for children 6-12.

Nighttime Ghost Tour

Salem Black Cat Tours

The cheapest of the well-reviewed walking tours at $25, and the only one that publishes a straightforward April-to-November season.

Late Night Adults-Only Tour

Salem Black Cat Tours

The cheapest ticket in town at $22, but it only runs late on a handful of nights and sells out accordingly.

Spellbound Tour

Spellbound Tours

Bills itself as Salem's longest-running paranormal tour, and leans further into vampires and voodoo than the witch trials. From $28.
