Best known for the Salem witch trials between February 1692 and May 1693, the trials were held across what was then known as Salem Village. Over 150 people were accused and 
arrested for witchcraft. Fourteen were women and five were men that were persecuted and executed by hanging. But that is not the only reason Salem is a must see during Halloween.
One man was crushed to death for refusing to enter a plea during the witch trials his name was Giles Corey. This was later seen as mass hysteria, and still to this day attracts many people. This is one of the best times and fitting times to visit Salem.
Many people enjoy all the spooky events that go on for Halloween. You can find ghost tours that take you through Salem’s chilling cemeteries, as the tour guides tell you the history of the witch trials and a Victorian murder, and in some cases sharing personal ghost stories. But make sure to also visit the House of the Seven Gables, the many museums and the Pickering wharf while there. Salem is a beautiful destination with a lot of history, quaint Bed and Breakfast’s, shops and dining by the water.
If you are looking for a little adventure and detour off the beaten path, make your way to the highest natural point in Massachusetts at 3,489 feet. Located in the northwest corner of the state, Mt. Greylock is only a few hours drive from Salem and provides views of five states and the only taiga-boreal forest in the state. It also offers the iconic 93-foot-high lighthouse-like Massachusetts Veterans War Memorial Tower. Bring your hiking shoes for the network of trails traversing the mountain including a section of the 2,179-mile Appalachian Trail. Mount Greylock State Reservation was created in 1898 as Massachusetts' first public land for the purpose of forest preservation. Massachusetts’s highest point would be a nice .
So... what was your spookiest destination?
