About the Tour
Nathaniel Hawthorne’s legacy runs deep in Salem. I’ll be guiding you to the spooky locations linked to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s dark past and share you the tales of the ghosts that now lurk these parts. You'll see where he lived, where he was born and the places he frequented. You'll also see and hear other haunted sites in Salem along the way.
Prepare yourself for a true tale horror. I’ll meet you at the Nathaniel Hawthorne Statue, if you dare.
