  John Ward House

  Joshua Ward House (Salem, Massachusetts)The Joshua Ward House is a three-story Federal-style brick mansion built between 1784 and 1787 for successful Salem merchant and distiller Joshua Ward. The house stands on the former site of the home of Sheriff George Corwin, the high sheriff during the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. Corwin was responsible for arresting accused witches and overseeing executions (including the pressing death of Giles Corey). Local legend claims Corwin was temporarily buried in the basement of his house due to threats from the families of the accused. Today it operates as a boutique hotel called The Merchant. Because of its connection to Sheriff Corwin and the witch trials, it has a strong reputation as one of Salem’s most haunted buildings, with numerous reports of paranormal activity.
