Back for its second year, come beyond the veil with us to 200-year-old Salem Old Town Hall, and reveal a time of the city's ghostly past, when liquid spirits were drunk in secret and beautiful flappers haunted the halls at the Haunted Speakeasy. Bring a date or bring your friends and experience a 1920s-themed haunted party like no other! Find additional information and tickets!

New this year, History Alive has also created the immersive experience of No Ghosts at the Old Town Hall, a haunted scavenger hunt/reverse escape room/immersive theatre experience based on all the rumors of hauntings in this cherished 1816 building. Kid conceptualized and kid-friendly, (and more than a bit influenced by the constant parade of ghost tours outside our doors) this show has been centuries in the making. Get tickets to either show!
