The Grim: Haunted Cemeteries & Graveyard Tales

The Grim’s Guide to Graveyards in Salem


Listen Later

Step through the veil with The Grim as host Kristin guides you on a haunting walk through Salem’s most historic and ghostly graveyards.

In this special episode, The Grim’s Guide to Graveyards in Salem, we explore eight of the Witch City’s oldest cemeteries, uncovering stories of tragedy, remembrance, and lingering spirits that shaped Salem’s haunted legacy.

From the Charter Street Cemetery (Old Burying Point), where the shadows of Judges Hathorne and Gedney still seem to linger, to the Witch Trials Memorial, where the names of twenty innocent victims are carved in solemn stone, each path leads deeper into the city’s haunted past.

We visit Howard Street Cemetery, where the spirit of Giles Corey is said to rise with the chill of autumn air; Broad Street Cemetery, final resting place of the infamous Corwins of the Witch House; and the peaceful grounds of Greenlawn and Harmony Grove, where nature softens centuries of history.

Along the way, we pause at the Friends Burying Ground, a quiet sanctuary where Salem’s persecuted Quakers rest in humble peace.

Just beyond Salem’s borders lies Old Burial Hill in Marblehead, one of New England’s oldest cemeteries and a filming location for Hocus Pocus. Here, legend and history meet in tales of Wilmot Redd, executed for witchcraft in 1692, and the eerie Pierce Family Tomb, where unrest is said to linger still.

Throughout the episode, The Grim reveals how Salem’s stones are more than markers of the dead. They are works of early American folk art, carved with winged skulls, weeping willows, and urns that speak of grief, faith, and the fragile line between life and eternity.

Whether you are planning a trip to Salem, Massachusetts, or simply drawn to its haunting beauty, this episode serves as your gothic guide through the city’s most haunted resting places. Learn where to find the most powerful memorials and what spectral encounters visitors continue to report.

So grab your favorite mug, cozy up, and join The Grim as we walk among Salem’s stones, where the dead whisper, the past breathes, and history refuses to rest.
