One Night in Salem
One Night in Salem | Amber Newberry, Laurie Moran, Bret Valdez
9 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
Throngs of tourists pack the streets from Derby to Essex. Costumed children and adults visit haunted attractions and browse t-shirt shops and street vendors' booths. A veiled figure appears, and you catch her out of the corner of your eye, but she quickly disappears into the crowd... or perhaps into thin air? The night is filled with laughter and screams as the living walk shoulder to shoulder with the dead. Halloween in Salem has expanded into a month-long celebration of all things creepy, but in four hundred years of history, October 31st has held many mysterious customs and dark events, lost and forgotten in the passing of decades. From the cursed Puritan settlers to the Great Salem Fire of 1914, and the whispers of war in 1812 to the story of a bullet hole in an alley on Gedney Street, travel through time, as ghosts mingle with the living, glimpsing the Witch City on the most important night of the year, October 31st.

My Grandfather died yesterday. He was 96 & hospitalized late last week for Covid (he refused to be vaccinated) & we discovered he was actually very sick BEFORE Covid. So, as the doctors said, it was a “blessing” he caught Covid because it stopped his suffering (hard to understand, but true). My family & I are relieved for him; he has been miserable for a long time. He‘s finally at peace. 🖤 So, in his honor, my #20in4 goal is 9.6 hours 📖

Beatlefan129 Sorry for your loss 1y

MoonWitch94 @Beatlefan129 @IndoorDame @SamAnne @Ruthiella @mrp27 Thank you, All ♥️ He only had an 8th grade level of education, but he was a huge reader (with a dictionary by his side) most of his life, so it‘s fitting to do a Readathon in his memory. 1y

#ScarathlonDailyPrompts #October5th #Ghost

👻The Witch House in Salem, MA is reportedly a hotspot of #Ghostly activity. I didn‘t experience anything when I was there, but many others have.

👻6points for #TeamMonsterMash #Scarathlon

Clwojick Oh my gosh! It must be huge inside! Looks so spooky! 🖤 1y
vlwelser I love Salem. We're going in Nov for my birthday. 1y
MoonWitch94 @Clwojick The rooms were large (by colonial standards) but the hallways & stairwells were TIGHT. Only one person, single file. My claustrophobia was kicking in. 1y
MoonWitch94 @vlwelser So do I! I have visited 3 times & still can‘t wait to go back to do more. Autumn is so pretty there. Enjoy! 🍁🖤🍂 1y
