The square is dim, the fountain gurgles like a throat clearing; lantern light throws long shadows as a guide calls the group together. You step off cobblestones that have held fishermen and merchants for three centuries, and the talk turns quickly from schooners to specters. This is a walking pub crawl through Salem’s oldest streets—equal parts civic history and late-night lore.
