About this listen
Salem, Massachusetts, is not just a town steeped in the haunting legacy of the 1693 witch trials; it has transformed into a vibrant hub of Halloween festivities and rich cultural experiences. As we explore Salem, we’ll uncover how this historic location has become synonymous with Halloween, drawing crowds eager to participate in a month-long celebration filled with ghost tours, costume balls, and unique markets.
Beyond the spooky allure, Salem boasts a rich tapestry of history, from the somber tales of the witch trials at the Salem Witch Museum to the charming streets lined with 17th-century architecture and contemporary boutiques. We’ll also delve into the modern-day witchcraft community, exploring metaphysical shops and spiritual practices that thrive in this unique environment. We also join GoNOMAD writer Susmita Sepgupta as we visit the town and the Peobody-Essex museum, where an exhibit of carved ship bow heads was on display.
Whether you're a history enthusiast or a Halloween fanatic, Salem offers a captivating blend of the past and present that makes it a must-visit destination in New England.
