Ghosts are real! And you can see them at America's Stonehenge on Saturday, October 26th! Join local historian James Lacefield for a candlelit tour of America's Stonehenge to encounter the ghostly remains - otherwise known as artifacts - of Salem, New Hampshire's haunted history.
On this guided tour of the site, you will learn about the more than 4,000 years of human history that have played out on top of Mystery Hill. From an unknown ancient culture of stone-masons to the Native American inhabitants of the Spicket River Valley, colonial loggers, antebellum abolitionists, 19th century murderers, and American horror writers, many people have made their mark on this historic property. You will hear the history of all these residents while touring the historic property which has endured long after the souls that once lived here have passed on.
You will also hear haunting tales and local legends as you explore the hill, and perhaps even discover the truth behind them. Was the Sacrificial Table really used for ancient sacrifice? Did one of America's first serial killers prowl this hilltop in search of his next victim? Or, will you be the next to give your soul to the ancient practice of historical research? Join us this hallo-weekend to find out!
The content of this tour will not be overly graphic or particularly scary, but some subjects may not be appropriate for children. Additionally, the extended duration of this guided tour may be difficult for groups with young children. For family-friendly Halloween events, please check out the Halloween Jr. Explorers activity at 10:00 am, and the earlier Legends of America’s Stonehenge tour at 1:00 pm! Details on those events can be found at StonehengeUSA.com.
The haunted history tour will last from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. The majority of this time will be spent on the site, which involves moderate hiking and standing outdoors for the duration of the tour. Please wear comfortable, supportive footwear and clothing suitable for the weather. A battery operated lantern will be provided for each guest. To give your fellow explorers the best experience, we ask that you refrain from using personal flashlights, headlamps, or other illumination while in the site as this will detract from the candlelit atmosphere of the tour. Your guide will have a flashlight and laser pointer to highlight important features along the tour.
