Featured Locations On This Scavenger Hunt

Salem Witch Museum

Witch, please… The Sanderson Sisters would die to haunt this place. The air crackles with dark magic, whispers of trials long past, and maybe—just maybe—a black cat watching from the shadows. Beware: once lit, even a single candle could raise more than goosebumps.

Salem Common

Careful, traveler—this green may look peaceful, but witches once whispered spells under these very trees. The Sanderson sisters prowled nearby, luring children with shadows and songs. Keep your black flame burning—lest you become their next midnight snack.

Phillips Elementary School

Shhh… can you hear the whispers? The Sanderson Sisters once roamed these haunted halls, weaving spells that still tingle in the air. Careful—every creak could be Billy’s shovel, every shadow a lurking black flame candle spark. Dare you wander deeper?

Old Town Hall

The Sanderson Sisters would love this haunt! Beneath the flicker of lantern light and the creak of old floors, spells linger like whispers on the wind. Careful—you might hear “I put a spell on you” echoing from the shadows. Don’t worry… it’s just a bit of hocus pocus.

Ropes Mansion

Beware, mortals! The Sanderson Sisters once prowled these streets, and whispers say their spirits still lurk. At Ropes Mansion, the air tastes of witchcraft and wicked laughter—one wrong move, and you might just join Billy in an eternal dirt nap.

Max & Dani’s House

The black flame candle may be out, but the air here still crackles with witchy whispers. Tread carefully—shadows slink across the shingles, and every creak could be Binx or something much… darker. Welcome to the house where trouble brewed faster than a Sanderson spell.
