Salem, MA Spooky Halloween: A Family Ghost Hunt

Details

This Halloween, you and your family become a team of professional ghosthunters. Together, you’ll wander the streets of Salem, collect hidden clues, and hunt for ghosts said to be hiding all around the city.

It’s the perfect way to enjoy Halloween outdoors away from screens, endless TikTok scrolls, and video games. Instead, you'll be laughing, exploring, solving puzzles and discovering mysteries behind haunted places - IN THE REAL WORLD.
