Salem
Home to the ill-reputed witch trials of 1692, Salem, Massachusetts, today is, according to legend, still haunted by the women executed as part of the hysteria. Every October, Salem milks its gruesome past with its annual month-long Haunted Happenings festival (www.hauntedhappenings.org) of ghost tours, street fairs, and costume balls. Be sure to stop by The Witch House, one of the oldest buildings in Salem and the onetime home of Jonathan Corwin, the judge who ultimately sent 19 women to their doom. Also worth joining are the eerie tours led by Salem Historical Tours (www.salemhistoricaltours.com): one visits the local cemetery, thought to be the country's second oldest, while another heads out for a nightly stroll past haunted houses and more.
