The Witch House

The Witch House, also called the Jonathan Corwin House, is the only building still standing in Salem with a direct tie to the 1692 witch trials. Corwin, a local magistrate, bought it in 1675 and lived there for decades, and the city now runs it as a museum about the trials and daily life in colonial Salem. Visitors and tour groups describe cold spots in an upstairs bedchamber, a woman at an upper window, and the sound of a child crying. The house was visited by the Ghost Adventures team, who reported equipment trouble and a child's voice, though the museum itself treats the reports as lore and focuses on the history.
