Here's why a self-guided tour is the best way to experience the Salem Witch Trials

Given Salem's popularity as a destination for ghost hunters and history fans, there is no shortage of Salem Witch Trials tours. But which one is the best?

 

This self-guided walking tour leads you in a loop all around the small Massachusetts town of Salem. The route hits all the major landmarks: from the county jail, where suspected witches were held without evidence, to Old Burying Point, where the victims were finally laid to rest.

 

What makes a self-guided tour better than a group tour? An app allows you to fully personalize your own experience. Start your tour any time of day, any day of the year. Pause and replay the narration as much as you need. Stop for all the photo ops you like. Step into a Salem cafe for a hot cocoa. You can even take optional detours to the outskirts of town to see even more historic haunted houses.

 

The centerpiece of this tour is the 1692 Memorial. This monument is inscribed with the name and death date of each of the twenty victims of the Witch Trials. Here, the app will bring history to life by telling you the fascinating stories about each of the accused witches.

 

As you walk from landmark to landmark, the narration fills you in on the sordid history of Salem. The tale is full of twists and surprises, starting with the two little girls who started the blame game all the way until its abrupt end just 15 months later.

 

But the story doesn't end there: the lessons learned from the 1692 Witch Trials helped the United States create the foundations for its legal system, almost a hundred years later. And if you're a fan of the supernatural, you'll be thrilled to know that there's tons of ghost stories that persist to this very day!

 

There's so much to learn and discover when you visit Salem. This self-guided app doubles as a GPS and a professional tour guide, right in your pocket! All you need is a smartphone and a set of earbuds. To start your Salem walking tour, download the Salem Witch Trials app today from the App Store or Google Play Store.
