Ghost Walk: East Hill Cemetery 2026

East Hill Cemetery comes alive after dark just once a year! Tour the historic graveyard and meet notable characters from Salem’s past. “Ghosts” will share captivating tales of fascinating characters from various periods of Salem’s rich history, spanning over 200 years. Each character has made an impact, whether big or small, and some stories are simply delightful. Guests will also discover surprising narratives about some of the region's most historic locations - places they may encounter in their daily lives. These walking tours are family-friendly, fun and informative, but not scary. Advanced tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for students of any age, and free for children three and younger. Ticket tip! The 6:15, 6:45, 7:15, and 7:45 tours tend to be less crowded. Get your tickets now to reserve your preferred tour time. Good walking shoes are recommended, and bring a flashlight for later tours. In case of rain, the event will be held inside the Museum. 2026 marks the Ghost Walk’s 28th year and all proceeds benefit the Salem Museum. The event is dedicated to the memory of Willie Robertson, who was a much beloved Ghost Walk character for many years.
