Come on by and visit the madness. We tend to get 100,000 people walking through our downtown all dressed up. People come from the surrounding towns and from all over the world to partake in Salem on this special night once a year! There will be several live performances on outdoor stages, a carnival, psychic fairs, a vampire from Salem's Lot, a Frankenstein Monster with a portable lab, and some spooky graveyards. Spirits walk the streets this night of the year, so be careful. They do become more visible and slightly stronger to weakened wills; so watch the amount of spirits you drink so they do not get into you...
The Witch House and Pioneer Village in Forest River Park, location of an old Native American museum and grounds designed by Fredrick Law Olmstead, offers ghostly tales with period actors either in an old 16,000's house or a 16,000's village center around a bonfire. One of my favorites.
Look for our local Brazilians, Halloween is a festival for them filled with mirth and lots of dancing. To avoid the crowds look for food within five minutes walk outside of downtown at Major McGleashes or Georgia's Pizza. great food, great prices, no waiting. Also check out the haunted parking lot where the Salem Ferry departs. This was the site of a haunted boat house which burned down. These ghosts will play with your cellphone or camera by displaying orbs, draining your battery, or displaying strange warning messages. Once they even tossed my cellphone 25 feet into an open manhole. Strange things do happen in Salem. Also check out the scrap metal sculpture yard in the parking lot.
Also remember there is 3 miles of tunnels under your feet. To find out more about them and how merchant sea captains became politicians to shape the foundation of our country up to the modern day. From presidential assassinations, shaping the Constitution, our involvement with the Britain's dirty deeds, and our nations banking Salem has shaped it all. Take the Salem Smugglers' Tour to find out how. It will also tell you about the real murder behind the game Clue that happened in Salem. Visit www.salemtunneltour.com to book your tickets. The tour is based on the books Sub Rosa and Salem Secret Underground: The History of the Tunnels in the City by your tour guide Chris Dowgin.
There is so much to do in Salem, we hope to see you!
