I've been on so many ghost tours when I go on vacation and this one was vastly different. We toured with a guy by the name of Boo and he was sensational. He said he was sensitive to spirits and told us stories of weird stuff happening in Salem. So many murders and creepy stuff. A few people on the tour got strange pics

This tour gets rave reviews about its spooky aspects and Salem's dark history of the paranormal. There maybe some overlap in information if you take multiple tours around the city.
