Looking for something spooky to do this Halloween? What better way to celebrate the witching hour than with a trip to Salem, MA – home of the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, and featured in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. This spooky city is just outside of Boston and is literally brimming with fun Halloween happenings.

Check out the 3D haunted house. This incredible tour takes you though a super-spooky haunted house that is covered (walls and floor) with 3D effects that are brought to life with special glasses. Haunted actors are also throughout the house ready to spook you – so you never know if what’s jumping out at you is real or 3D! The haunted house is right downtown and is open October 5th through the 31st. Tickets are $10 for adults and $7.00 for kids and are available for sale here.

Head on over to the Salem Witch Museum at Salem Common. The Salem Witch Museum is home to many artifacts of the 1962 Witch Trials and is full of stories to educate both children and adults alike. It’s open year round with extended hours during October.
You can also relive the witch trials like you were there – Cry Innocent: The People vs. Bridget Bishop is a live reenactment of the witch trials – and you get to be the jury. Listen to testimony and talk with witness – then you decide the fate of the witches! Visit www.cryinnocentsalem.com for more information.
