This is a nighttime haunted-history walk through Salem with a licensed guide, moving along lamplit streets.

As a walking tour at night, it fits people comfortable on their feet in the evening and looking for atmosphere over a museum setting.
The tour visits sites tied to the 17th-century Salem Witch Trials and covers stories of spirits said to linger in historic homes and graveyards, so it leans on the town's darker past. The operator frames it as engaging and entertaining, which places it toward the story-first end rather than a documentary-style history walk.
