We started off with the ghost tour, which focused mainly on those involved in the witch trials (naturally), but also referenced a few other bits of history. We got dinner and then walked through the graveyard and checked out some of the shops. I got a sweatshirt, because it was a lot colder at Salem in the afternoon than it was in Boston in the morning. So now I have a souvenir.
Next we saw a reenactment of the arrest and examination of Bridget Bishop. The audience was the jury, and my friend got picked to be a temporary constable.
Then there was the 3D haunted house. It was amazing. I loved the art of it, as well as the haunted-house bit.
Finally, as we were wandering around, listening to music, admiring costumes, eating kettle corn and cider, and occasionally wandering into shops, we were offered free tickets to a psychic show that would normally be $100. So we went to that too, and it was fun.
All in all, a great Halloween.
I love Salem! I remember those sweatshirts, too... :)
