Salem Witch Trials Audio Guide

Welcome to the self-guided Salem Witch Trials Tour in Salem, Massachusetts!

The Salem Witch Trials:
Get ready for a seriously harrowing tale. The quaint, picturesque Massachusetts town of Salem hides a dark, chilling history, and we’ll tell you all about it. Walk these historic streets and uncover the story of the Salem Witch Trials, where a frenzy of paranoia and superstition turned the townspeople against each other and drove them to kill their own neighbors.

Journey back to the 1600s and meet those responsible for the witch panic, from vengeful children to cruel men of the law. Meet their victims too — innocents who were swept up so suddenly by the plague of fear and paid the ultimate price.

Retrace these tragic events and discover why they have fascinated and terrified people for hundreds of years, prompting the creation of countless movies, shows, and even Arthur Miller’s famous play The Crucible.

To walk through Salem’s history is to peer into the darker corners of the human mind—a place where good people become capable of doing great evil. Who knows what we can unearth when we shine a light on these dark corners?

Featuring riveting stories, a phenomenal narrator, and easy automatic audio, this app puts exploration in the palm of your hand!
