Salem, the witch town of Massachusetts
Salem is a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States.
The so-called City of Witches (Witch City) because of the trials that took place in the year 1692, is located on the US Atlantic coast, 25 km north of Boston.
The city owes its growth to its strategic port, which acquired important influence during the peak of commercial traffic with Africa, India, Russia, Sumatra and China; in the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth. Recently, and taking into account its history, as its rich architecture of the aforementioned period- (recognized aspects both locally and internationally), it was granted the status of National Historical Heritage. There are more than 60 restaurants, coffee shops and coffee shops in the center of the city.
Salem receives more than one million visitors a year, who come from all over the world. This city concentrates a great part of the historical places of the state of Massachusetts, in addition to museums, cultural activities, fine restaurants and select businesses.
The Samuel McIntyre Historic District consists of four hundred and seven buildings. It is the largest agglutination of buildings in colonial America in the United States. Inside it is McIntyre's own house. Samuel McIntyre, or McIntire, (January 16, 1757 February 6, 1811) was an American architect and craftsman. It is a prime example of federal style architecture. He developed most of his work in his hometown, Salem, Massachusetts.
Known as The people of witches, Salem is a city located in the state of Massachusetts that is currently visited by thousands of tourists intrigued by terrifying stories that are woven on that place.
The event that gave rise to the fame of witch people to Salem occurred in 1962, when the settlers began a witch hunt that ended with the imprisonment of more than 150 men and women.
This hunt began in January of that year, after the daughter of the Reverend Samuel Parris fell ill. The diagnosis of the doctor was that they had bewitched her.
That provoked a mass hysteria in Salem that caused 13 women and 6 men to be condemned to the gallows, accused of practicing witchcraft and performing satanic rites.
At present, there is a museum dedicated to explain this event, and a tour that takes tourists to visit the sites related to the witch hunt.

Salem, Massachusetts
Salem is a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, in the United States. The population was 41,340 at the 2010 census. Salem and Lawrence were the county seats of Essex County prior to the abolishment of county government in 1999. Home to Salem State University , the Salem Willows Park and the Peabody Essex Museum , Salem is a residential and tourist area which includes the neighborhoods of Salem Neck, The Point, South Salem and North Salem, Witchcraft Heights, Pickering Wharf, and the McIntire Historic District (named after Salem's famous architect and carver, Samuel McIntire) . Salem was one of the most significant seaports in early America.
Featured notably in Arthur Miller's The Crucible, much of the city's cultural identity is reflective of its role as the location of the Salem witch trials of 1692: Police cars are adorned with witch logos, a local public school is known as the Witchcraft Heights Elementary School, the Salem High School athletic teams are named the Witches; and Gallows Hill, a site of numerous public hangings, is currently used as a playing field for various sports. Tourists know Salem as a mix of important historical sites, New Age and Wiccan boutiques, kitschy Halloween, witch-themed attractions and a vibrant downtown that has more than 60 restaurants, cafes and coffee shops. In 2012, the Retailers Association of Massachusetts chose Salem as the recipient of their inaugural Best Shopping District award.

An excellent complete tour of the Narbonne-Hale House Salem MA
Thank you for a great tour. In Salem? Don't miss this.Address: 71 Essex St, Salem, MA 01970
Narbonne House (1675) – The part of the house with the high peaked roof was built by butcher Thomas Ives, who later added a lean-to the south side and a kitchen lean-to at the back. Around 1740 the southern lean-to was replaced by today's gambrel-roofed addition. From 1750 to 1780, the house was owned by Capt. Joseph Hodges, and in 1780 the house was purchased by tanner Jonathan Andrew. The house was lived in by descendants of the Andrew family from 1780 to 1964, when the house was sold to the National Park Service.
The Salem Maritime National Historic Site is a National Historic Site consisting of 12 historic structures, one replica tall-ship, and about 9 acres (36,000 m2) of land along the waterfront of Salem Harbor in Salem, Massachusetts. Salem Maritime is the first National Historic Site established in the United States (March 17, 1938).[1] It interprets the Triangle Trade during the colonial period, in cotton, rum, sugar and slaves; the actions of privateers during the American Revolution; and global maritime trade with the Far East, after independence. The National Park Service manages both the National Historic Site and a Regional Visitor Center in downtown Salem. The National Park Service (NPS) is an agency of the United States Department of the Interior.
In 2014, the National Park Service, which runs the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, released figures and statistics for 2012: there were 756,038 visitors to Salem who spent an estimated $40,000,000.[2] The National Park Service celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2016

Most people immediately think of the 1692 witch trials when they think of Salem, Massachusetts. But the town has a rich history far beyond those events, from its maritime and literary roots to some of the birth of the National Guard and the first urban planning in North America.

ABANDONED Illuminati Castle - The Old Stone Church in West Boylston , Massachusetts
ABANDONED Illuminati Castle - The Old Stone Church in West Boylston , Massachusetts ( FOUND Satanic Ritual )
Lets go explore the Old Stone Church in West Boylston, Massachusetts!
Here is the history according to the bulletin board at the park:
Self Guided Tour: Old Stone Church
The site of the Old Stone Church, on the shoreline of the Wachusett Reservoir, serves as a monument to thousands of buildings that were removed from the Nashua River Valley to create the reservoir. The church was the only building that was allowed to remain because of its stone construction. All other wooden structures were removed because they could degrade the quality of the drinking water.
The Old Stone Church was a Baptist church built in 1892. It was built as a replacement for the wooden Baptist church that was destroyed by fire two years earlier. The Metropolitan Water Board bought the church from the Baptist Society in 1897. The church still held regular services until 1902 when the state took over the building. All of the interior items, as well as the stained glass windows and church bell, were moved to the new Baptist church location on Church Street in the center of West Boylston. This building remained the Baptist Church until the Freemasons took control of it in 1972. Today, the interior of the building still resembles the Old Stone Church.
The Old Stone Church was declared a National Historical Site in 1973; however by 1975 the roof and major portions of the walls had collapsed. The church was rebuilt over the next few years to replicate the original as much as possible at the cost of $181,000.00. The church was rededicated in 1983 s part of the town of West Boylston's 175th Anniversary.
The Old Stone Church today serves as a popular tourist attraction where visitors come to picnic, take photographs, fish, or simply enjoy the scenic value of the site. Bald Eagles, Common Loons, and several species of ducks can be viewed at the church.

TPHtour Live Look-in: The shores of Salem, MA
The Perfect House tour hits Witch Country and Salem, MA. A live web stream as we walk around the surreal city in fitting cool autumn fog.
The Perfect House is an independent horror film that chose to reject mainstream distribution and instead become the first movie ever to premiere on facebook.
In the Summer of 2011, 3 members of Gratwick Films planned a cross country tour to promote the films October 1, 2011 release. The goal was to procure sponsors for a tour bus that would take us around the country hosting free screenings everywhere we went. But as the summer wore on, time ran out on how elaborate of a tour we could execute.
These confessions and video footage from the tour will be included in a documentary following the tour to promote the first film ever to premiere on facebook. The documentary will be available in the fall of 2013.
The Perfect House is a horror anthology that pays homage to three prolific sub genres of horror.
Starring: Jonathan Tiersten, Chris Raab, Monique Parent, Holly Greene, John Philbin, Andrea Vahl
Directed by: Kris Hulbert & Randy Kent

Salem tourists frustrated by shutdown
Tourist after tourist, cameras hanging dutifully from their necks, strolled up to the visitor center, a traditional first stop for sightseeing in this day-tripper's town.
But the doors wouldn't budge, and the signs bluntly told the tale. Closed until further notice, on account of the government shutdown.
A closed visitor center in tourist-friendly Salem? In October, of all months? It must be the witching hour.
Awful, said Delores Leblanc, visiting from Mississippi and speaking for many disappointed tourists Wednesday. Just awful.
In a city chock-a-block with psychic shops and all manner of witch kitsch, the closure of the visitor center, along with the historic Custom House and a popular tall ship, could hardly have come at a worse time. More than 250,000 people visit Salem during October, taking in a month-long array of Haunted Happenings, and at least 75,000 more come on Halloween night.
Salem's rich history, from literary to maritime, draws nearly 1 million visitors annually. But the city is best known for the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, and features myriad businesses with haunted and spooky themes.
Tourism generates an estimated $100 million annually, about 25 percent of which comes in October.
It's the biggest month for everybody here, said Kate Foxcq, who directs Destination Salem, the city's office of tourism. We spend all year telling visitors to set their GPS to 2 New Liberty Street (the address of The National Park Service Regional Visitor Center). It isn't fair to them for their welcome to be a piece of paper saying the National Park is closed.
On a busy weekend, the center receives well over 10,000 people. But on this day, the building drew only frustrated looks and dismissive waves, an easy symbol for Washington gridlock.
To fill the void, volunteers are handing out maps and brochures at a makeshift visitor center in front of the federal center, doing their best to give people their bearings help people get their bearings.
The city also brought in portable toilets, replacing a key amenity of the visitor center.
Visitors, while somewhat annoyed the regular center was closed, were grateful for the help.
We've had people borderline-hugging us, said Julie Arrisong, site manager of the historic Phillips House who was greeting visitors Wednesday. We're doing what we can to make sure everybody feels welcome in Salem.
Arrison and other volunteers told tourists that while virtually all the most popular sites were open as usual, the tall ship and Custom House were closed for the duration of the shutdown. No ranger tours for now.
You can still walk by and take photos, Arrison said.
City officials said they didn't anticipate the closures to affect tourism during the busy month but acknowledged that the logistics are not ideal.
I don't expect this will keep people away, said Kim Driscoll, Salem's mayor. We've pulled together, and everyone's trying to be a good ambassador.
While the city is clearly hoping the park facilities will reopen soon, most visitors this month are interested in Halloween-themed attractions, from witch houses to wax museums, she said.
On Wednesday, many tourists seemed unfazed by the closures, saying they were too happy about the beautiful weather to worry much about it. Most seemed content to just wander through the city, with no particular sightseeing agenda, or might sit back and let the tour buses do the work.
But others, coming to the visitor center directly after arriving at the parking lot across the street, said they had counted on the center as a springboard for the day. And tourism officials worried that visitors would miss out on major sights, and wouldn't receive a formal welcome.
My frustration is that people won't have that smiling, welcoming face, Fox said.
Down by the water, wherenear the tall ship Friendship of Salem, a replica of a cargo ship built in the late 1700s, visitors could only look on from the shore —
and fume at a sign that read U.S. GOVT. PROPERTY. NO TRESPASSING.
This is so sad, said a woman named Pat, visiting from Florida. We pay for this. Our tax dollars. She was too angry to say any more.
Nearby, day-trippers snapped pictures of the Custom House, a grand brick building where Salem native Nathaniel Hawthorne once worked. Michelle Welsh, a New Hampshire resident who decided on a whim to spend her day off in Salem, said it never crossed her mind that anything might be closed.
Didn't even think about it, she said.
Behind her was a Park Ranger park ranger cruiser, parked near the walkway. But no ranger was in sight.
