Spellbound Tours
About
Spellbound Tours runs guided ghost tours in Salem, combining real local history with paranormal storytelling. Founded in 2000 by a certified parapsychologist, it bills itself as Salem’s longest-running paranormal tour. Guests visit actual sites connected to the 1692 Witch Trials, hear about the role voodoo may have played in the trials, and learn about vampire folklore and true tales of modern vampirism, all with history that is fact-checked as new discoveries emerge.
Tours are led by guide Dr. Vitka and other storytellers who know Salem’s streets well, and tales range from true crime and UFO sightings to Blackbeard’s pirate days and Houdini’s visit. Guests are encouraged to try capturing ghostly energy on camera, though the guides also debunk fakes. Groups include families on vacation, covens of witches and touring rock bands, and guests are invited to stay after the tour to share their own haunted experiences.
