Bob was a great guide, didn’t try to be overly spooky and told a lot of his own stories, guests stories and history. I also loved looking at the spooky ghost photos that he had on his phone. Even if I am still a skeptic, I had a lot of fun and learned some spooky history I wasn’t aware of. Highly recommend!

This was fun. Our guide was much better than the first one. The only reason this is 4 instead of 5 is because of the conflict with other tour guides. I understand his frustration but in leaving the scene I feel we didn't get the whole story on one of the houses. Dealing with others is part of this situation and while I believe the other guide was extremely rude and unprofessional, I also feel that we were short changed. This part has nothing to do with the guide but the cemetery we were taken to on this tour didn't really have any lighting so you couldn't see anything but darkness.

Stash our tour guide was amazing. His humor was delightful and his knowledge of the history of Salem was very informative. I loved all the unique places he took us too. Also,his energy circle was a cool experience. My husband and I felt the energy in the circle.
