Fun night in Salem - I was so tired at 9:15 pm when the tour started. I thought about bailing beforehand but I’m so glad I didn’t. Danielle was a very entertaining and engaging speaker. She held my attention the whole time. You can tell she cares about giving people a good experience and was very knowledgeable. My husband and I really enjoyed the tour.

Mysteries with a Medium - We did this tour on Tuesday, 9/23. Danielle was incredible. She’s so kind, and funny, and knowledgeable about the murders and mysteries on the tour. There was a woman in a wheelchair in the group we walked with, and Danielle was constantly aware of where she was and made sure she could hear and see everything going on. She gets into the telling in a way that makes you feel like you’re experiencing Salem through the ages. It was clear she’s passionate about the history. We liked her so much, we got a reading with her at Hex the next day.
