Amber lanterns once lit Salem’s crooked lanes, while secrets clung to each shadow. Behind the infamous witch trials is a city laced with hidden intrigue and forbidden tales.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks Salem’s past beneath the tourist gloss, turning every street into a stage for rebel spirits, whispered plots, and eccentric visionaries most visitors overlook.

Was a single accusation inside The Witch House enough to ignite hysteria for generations? What ancient treasures are tucked behind the dignified facade of the Peabody Museum? And who left a scandalous message etched into the old woods of the Peirce–Nichols House?

Wander from haunted doorways to elegant halls, tracing footsteps of accused witches, cunning seafarers, and political agitators through stories full of betrayal and wonder. Experience Salem as a living mystery with revelations tucked in every crooked alley.

Begin now and reveal the layers that flicker just beneath Salem’s lantern-lit surface.
