The Howard Street Cemetery in Salem, MA is described as a Gothic and foreboding place, considered one of the most haunted in the U.S., primarily due to its connection to Giles Corey, a victim of witch trials who was pressed to death there for refusing to enter a plea. He is said to haunt the cemetery, appearing as a ghost or leaving cold touches, while others report seeing other restless spirits lamenting their unfair fates. The cemetery, established in 1801, contains 1,100 headstones and plain Puritan tombs, but is known more for the tragic legend of Giles Corey than its physical attributes. Giles Corey was the most famous resident, a victim of the 1692 Witch Trials, who was pressed to death on the hill that became the cemetery when he refused to enter a plea. His restless spirit is believed to wander the grounds, seeking the unmarked grave where he was buried. Besides Corey, other spirits are thought to be restless in the cemetery due to the injustice they faced during the Witch Trials. Visitors have reported feeling cold touches or experiencing other phenomena while walking through the cemetery, especially at night.
