| Notes | The Witch House on Essex Street, Salem, photographed about 1901. The signs read “Ye Old Witch House Antiques” and “Witch House Entrance.” The house belonged to Judge Jonathan Corwin, who sat on the 1692 court; twelve years before the first Salem witch films were shot, it was already selling tickets and antiques.
