Haunted Warren Museum
From Salem Links and Lore
The Haunted Warren Museum is a mixed media experience set to open in August 2026 by business partners Elton Castee and comedian Matt Rife. The museum will feature guided tours of 14 exhibit spaces with paranormal artifacts from around the world, including the haunted "Annabelle" doll from paranormal investigator husband and wife team, Ed and Lorraine Warren.
- In March 2026, the museum was granted a 90 day trial period of a late closing time of 12 am midnight. This latest development follows a request by owner Elton Castee for a daily closing time of 2 am. Residents are disgruntled with this proposal as they believe it will lead to excessive noise in the early hours of the morning.
- The museum announced in May 2026 that they will be opening for a limited time on August 26. The opening will feature a guided tour and guests will purchase tickets in advance for specific entry times, with no outdoor queuing. The owners hope to be open until Christmas and then relocate.
