By late afternoon the brick streets of Salem take on a particular angle of light — low and flat, catching the gables and narrow windows of colonial houses. On this two-tour combination you move from daylight history into nighttime stories, starting with a sober walk through sites tied to the 1692 trials and finishing under streetlamps and moonlight where ghost stories land with a laugh and a shiver.
