Salem Planning

 Whether is April or October.  Remember Salem is a New England City and that means... the weather can change 3x in one day.  So that being said... plan accordingly.  Dress in layers!  Yes, coming to Salem in October is Fun and you can wear your creative costumes and enjoy in the festivities.  However, Let's keep in mind.  This is a historic town with brick and cobblestone streets and sidewalks.  Long lines and lots of walking.  Treat your feet well and you will have a great time!  Save those fancy shoes for the balls.  Final note, YES it has snowed in Salem in October!  Enjoy and if we can help you plan your trip - just shoot a message our way!  See you downtown!

The Final Salem Witchcraft Trial (It's not when you'd think!)

The infamous witchcraft trials of 1692 were harrowing to say the least. Innocent townspeople were tried and executed under a court system that was inherently flawed and erratic in its decisions. 'Spectral evidence' was what damned most all of the 1692 victims to their sentences; meaning the jury was making decisions based upon people's sensationalized outbursts and claims to have seen the accused's witchly spirit tormenting them. After the hysteria of the time passed, this court system was taken under review and abolished, taking the use of spectral evidence to its grave. With spectral evidence now inadmissible, it would be incredibly difficult for something like this to ever happen again. Nearly 200 years later, however, a case like this would go to trial again and it would mark its place in history as America's last witch trial.

In a childhood accident, Lucretia S. Brown of Ipswich had become disabled due to a spinal injury. She wouldn't find relief for this injury until she was in her 50's. Lucretia had discovered the Christian Scientist Church and became a disciple of Mary Baker Eddy. Lucretia believed wholeheartedly that Mary's teachings had saved and rehabilitated her. Unfortunately, in 1875 Lucretia suffered from an injury relapse. Confused and scared, she turned to Mary, who came to the conclusion that mystical foul play must be at work. Coincidentally, Mary had recently excommunicated Daniel Spofford from her church. She believed that Daniel had relapsed Lucretia in an effort to spite her.

Mary turned to her lawyer, who drew up court documents on behalf of Lucretia and in 1878 she would take to court the final witch trial. This consisted of a complaint against Daniel Spofford that he was a "mesmerist, and practices the art of mesmerism, and that by his power and influence he is capable of injuring the persons and property and social relations of others, and does by said means so injure them", according to the local Ipswich newspaper released at the time. The legal papers called upon the court to stop him from using his mental efforts to torture Mary's disciples.

On court day in Salem, Daniel found these claims so outrageous he didn't even show up to court. After the complaint was read, it was determined that the complaint had no legal standing because the court would be unable to control Daniel's mind. The case was promptly dismissed, laying to rest the final American witchcraft trial.

Fall Weather Survival Checklist

Every day of fall in New England is like a surprise. One day, you can stroll around the town in a

sweatshirt and jeans, taking in the warm sun on your skin, and watch the light breeze blow through the

rusted orange leaves. Other days, winter comes early and no amount of hot apple cider can warm you

up. On average the weather can range between 62 and 45 degrees, which means you’ll need to come

prepared when you visit us in October. The key to making it through the fall is always the layers and small

accessories people always forget. That’s why we’ve created a list of some must haves to get you

through your fall trip!

Jackets

• Fall Jacket 
• Light Winter Jacket
• Rain Coat

Clothes

• Sweatshirts 
• Thermal Shirts
• Jeans
• Leggings or Long Johns for layering
• Boots (Great for when it rains & easy to get thick socks under)

Odds and Ends

• Gloves 
• Scarf (I love the blanket scarves that you can wear like a blanket when it’s cold!)
• Hat (Beanie, headband, anything to keep your ears warm!)
• Thick Socks
• Hand/Toe Warmers
