While in Boston last week, we went to Salem for the afternoon.
Apparently, this is the place to be for Halloween---over 100,000 will be there Halloween weekend.
And, the locals dress up---even the red hat society ladies (this is from a brochure, but we did see three of them walking on the street)
We opted for the trolley ride around town. We were however hampered with the plastic sheeting. I soon figured out how to loosen it around the edges to take photos.
There are plenty of Witch Sites to see---the Witch museum I remembered from years ago is being tuck-pointed so I didn't get any photos of it.
The tour took us out of town giving us the history of this area besides the Witch Trial part.
Although this cove is not the Bay of Fundy, the tides are pretty dramatic here.
There were many beautiful homes befitting a major shipping and whaling port in 18th and 19th century New England.
Although we didn't see as many costumed characters as on weekends, we did have a few eerie sightings. . .
Is this a real witch, or one of the costumed characters? Is there a fog swirling around her, or did I shoot into the sun? Is that an aura emanating from her, or a finger print on my lens? You decide. Bwa-ha-ha.
