I recently wandered up to one of my favorite haunts in New England – Salem, Massachusetts – even though October is generally not a time I would go to Salem as normally it’s THE big month for the Witch City and you can’t find a hotel for less than an arm and a leg no matter what time of the month it is. This year, though, things are a lot different due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic as the city’s annual Haunted Happenings has been canceled and everything else is scaled back. With all that, I figured it was actually the perfect time for me to head up and learn more about a subject that has interested me since 7th grade – the 1692 Salem Witch Trials – without the usual big crowds.
