No, this is not a haunted house. The Salem Museum of Torture is a historical museum dedicated to showcasing the cruel and unusual punishments used throughout human history. While the museum offers an immersive experience with dim lighting and sound effects, there are no sudden scares or startling moments. Our mission is to educate visitors and preserve authentic instruments of torture for historical understanding. This is not a haunted house, but a place of learning and reflection.
The museum spans two floors, with stairs required to access the lower level. However, the main exhibits are located on the fully accessible first floor. We now offer an accessible entrance and exit to ensure a convenient and enjoyable visit for all visitors.
Reservations are no longer needed to visit the museum. Tickets can be purchased upon arrival at our expanded museum, which now includes a gift shop. For those planning their trip to Witch City in advance, online tickets are also available for your convenience.

*Please note that an online ticket guarantees entry on the day of purchase but does not allow you to skip the line during peak October hours. Online ticket holders may arrive anytime between 10:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on the day of purchase. Tickets are non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, please contact us: salemtorture@gmail.com
Please be aware that our museum contains graphic depictions of historical violence, which some visitors may find disturbing. We strongly advise parental discretion when planning a visit with children. The exhibits are designed to provide an accurate portrayal of the harsh realities of historical punishments, and as such, they include detailed and potentially unsettling content. We recommend that parents and guardians carefully consider the maturity of their children before entering the museum.
