What keeps you awake at night? Haunted Happenings Salem.

After a five-hour drive from New York, we finally reached the outer regions of Salem. As I mentioned previously, getting there at the last minute would make it impossible to find any accommodations in Salem. After checking into the hotel and getting ready with our costumes, we called uber who charged 35.00 to take us downtown Salem from Revere. we got there a bit late around 5 pm so not a full day to see the sites. So, a lot of nighttime photography.

I was just dipping my feet in the waters of what Salem has to offer in October. This is an experience that I will surely repeat but with some advanced preparation. Of course, if you want to experience as much as possible it is best to prepare now for next year. Although I would not discourage anyone to go last minute, I recommend at least 2 nights and 3 days. There is so much to see and do, it’s impossible not to come back again.

The restaurants were full, which was to be expected and the lines were infinite, but so many places to eat including a park full of food trucks. The food trucks were expensive $15,00 for an Italian sausage or $11.00 for three strawberries on a stick dipped in Chocolate. With better planning and more time, I am sure that the choices would be better.

For fans of the movie The Crucible, don’t miss a visit to the Salem Witch trials memorial behind the old burying point.

I did make it to the Salem witch museum, which sells out every day, at least during Halloween. It is also open year-round. The tickets go on sale at midnight and make sure you are online at 12:01 you may still have a queue to purchase, we had a 30-minute queue.

There is so much to see and do that it’s even hard to list them. That is why I gave you the links below so you can plan according to what you like to do. I would not miss the witch dungeon Museum, the various Trolley Tours, and the Salem haunted night tours. Stop at the Psychic fair and get your Tarot Cards read by the numerous mediums in town, or you can just walk around and immerse yourself in all that is scary and hair-raising, maybe you will meet one of the ghosts from the many haunted houses in Salem. Remember on Halloween all the doors are open, don’t bring one home with you, I heard they are hard to get rid of.

A great website to get a map and all the info you could want to plan your Salem Vacay is SALEM.ORG and for all October happenings hauntedhappenings.org
