My First Time In Salem Massachusetts - Walking Around The Witch City / Haunted History & Hocus Pocus

Salem is such a fun place to hang out! One of our favorite places to visit. We usually stay at the Hawthorne Hotel and stayed in the as they say "the most haunted room" in the hotel. Their ghost tours are cool to go on as well (as long as you get a good guide lol). Lots of awesome stories. Gaol was apparently how they spelled jail. Lots of great memories going there! The House of Seven Gables is beautiful. Beautiful views❤️. The first time I went to the candy store there was a line out of the door and around the corner haha...it was crazy! Love that you're visiting. 😁

[@melissadevore9711]

I have never been before, but I was going to plan a trip. Is everything walking distance from the hotels? And everything to do. Or do you have to drive place to place. My daughter wants to go for the hocus pocus tour

[@DeaconsUniverse]

So much history in one town. I could probably spend several days there. That was rad.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Yea I was thinking the same thing . A lot there

[@mtibbe]

That red box you thought was an electrical box was actually an old fireman’s call box. That is what people used for emergency before the 911 system was put into place

[@sailingmylifeaway]

Salem was once the largest seaport on the East Coast. A history of trade and sailing vessels. It has many tunnels that still exist today. Many were associated with smuggling to avoid customs. The witch hysteria only lasted several years and a lot of it was a conspiracy to steal land. Salem has been riding the witch for about 30 years now. It brings in the tourists. Used to call Salem home.😃 nice job Adam

[@joannetruhitte2936]

[@kimbrundige6320]

I don't believe that there were witches back then, probably people practicing Satanism.

[@JosephTavano]

More like 50-60 years.

[@PeterHarlequinWhite]

The "smuggler tunnels" stories have been debunked as was the book put out by Chris Duggin who started that whole idea of said tunnels. In fact the city put out a letter a few years back discrediting him and the book. There is a few utility tunnels that connect a building here or there but no massive network of tunnels.

[@squirlmy]

I remember the witch museums in the 70s and 80s. Back then it was more historical, just like "House of the Seven Gables", and no one then would imagine, for example, a tribute statue of Samantha from "Bewitched"! Now it is used as a theme everywhere in Salem. I think the tourism promotion increased in the 90s, in part because other businesses were closing, and jobs leaving the area. Also, I don't think there are any tunnels. The sandy dirt near the coast couldn't support a tunnel for long. A hurricane, or just a strong storm, would collapse such a tunnel. Makes a good story, though.

[@thesexauerswife]

Adam!! I am so excited you are in our great state of Massachusetts! Not sure what your plans are for the next few days, but come to my neighborhood in Concord to visit Walden Pond, Henry David Thoreaus’s cabin site, and the Orchard House where the Alcott family lived and where Louisa May wrote Little Women! The history in the house is amazing. There is also the Old North Bridge, the Colonial Inn, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery with Author’s Ridge, and so many other amazing places to visit!

[@rosemaryjones949]

I just doubt if Adam can appreciate Thoreau and Walden Pond if he wasn't familiar with Hawthorne and The House of Seven Gables??

[@sharonproctor4079]

Nice shot of Salem Harbor. Salem Willows was a frequent place we went as kids. Rides, mini golf, boat tours, chop suey rolls, ice cream, games. Very cool on hot nights.

[@dustermaniac]

Yes I agree, I was born and raised in Salem and lived there for 33 years

[@bbishoppcm]

While you’re up here, check out Old Sturbridge Village! It’s a village created to replicate a new england town from the 1830s from actual homes and buildings that were donated and relocated to the area. This is 100% worth visiting!

[@scarystardust5175]

I’m so jealous! This has been on my bucket list for forever. So much bizarre, dark history.

[@PageCreations]

I was laughing at all the words you were running across that you weren't familiar with. The Gilbraltar candy.. My husband said it might very well a reference to the Rock of Gibraltar. That would make sense that it was hard as a rock. "Razed" .. which seems really weird to me that it means torn down or demolished. I guess that's why it didn't say "raised". "Consumption" was the word they used for tuberculosis. You hear it in period piece movies a lot. I was surprised when you weren't sure what meant considering all the movies you've seen. Once again another weird word though. Salem is definitely an interesting place. Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. 🥰

[@Chewiesmom]

I was waiting for you guys to put it together with the “rock” candy named Gibraltar named after the rock of Gibraltar. Lol. I loved this video. I went there with my family in the early ‘70’s when I was about 10 years old. There is a house near there made out of paper. Very cool house

[@joycevansickle3305]

Lol, I was thinking the exact same thing. 😁

[@michelehood8837]

I was thinking that it’s probably like peppermint bark, where you have to break it with a hammer to eat it. Also, molasses candy - kinda on the fence about that one…

[@Merely]

Laughed so hard little tears formed. So many funny moments, "You've never read a BOOK?" I think you and Bin are my new favorite team surpassing TT. I was married in Salem at the Grace Episcopal on Essex Street in the 80's by candlelight. Pretty cool. So glad you got to take a look around! xo

[@bobbyhand1]

HEY ATW...THIS TOWN WAS ALMOST AS CREEPY AS PAWLEY'S ISLAND with that Haunted Trail you went down after the ice storm! At least the residents accept and even satirize the town's past. I could tell you were uneasy at some locations. Great vlog. The way you read historical markers is one of the reasons you are number one!

In the neighboring town of Danvers, which was part of Salem Village during the witch trials, there is a memorial to the victims. Nice to see you in our neck of the woods, hope you're enjoying yourself! 👍👍

I'm sure that someone already has noted that gaol means jail. Also, "Bewitched" shot some episodes in Salem, and the surroundings. I think that's why the statue exists. Adam, you and Ben were excellent, tour guides. Salem at Halloween is amazing.👏👏🧙🧟‍♀️

[@joannesnider6580]

Locals did not want that statue, fwiw.

[@ksbeditor]

True... I was a kid when they filmed here. The cast was very sweet and gave out autographs and waved out the window of the hotel.

Yes, Bewitched, was it the episode about the old bed warmer (which was really a warlock) that kept following her around in the museum 😆 I can't remember 🤔

[@squirlmy]

@@joannesnider6580 a few decades ago, the museums and such were taken more seriously as history. It "evolved" into modern light entertainment, and many locals think the statue, among many newer tourist traps, is rather tacky.

[@dustermaniac]

Thank you, Adam, for this awesome video!!!!!!! I was born and raised in Salem, Mass. The correct pronouncement for Roger Conant's last name is o as in "O" God. " I miss my hometown living in California. Still have family there. I know where every building in this video is located and have been to all of them. A lot of these old buildings have inscriptions in the concrete /stone masonry where the letter V was used as a substitute for the letter U. I guess they did not have the technology to carve the U into these old buildings. Salem Witch Museum used to be a Catholic church. The building that is now Turners Seafood restaurant used be a restaurant there named the Lyceum. The house that has the crow's nest that was in Hocus Pocus is owned by the parents of a classmate of mine from Saltonstall School. Salem was also the original home of Parker Games. They tore the old factory down in the early 90's after Hasbro bought out Parker Brothers. Most of Salem burned to the ground in the Great Salem Fire of 1914. But these old buildings that are in this video are original that were saved from burning. Great place to visit especially on Halloween. Everyone dresses up in costume and it's a big party!!!!!!

The history, the buildings, and so much more to see. We even got to be there around Halloween, which made it even better! There is no better place to get your spooky vibes on than Salem. The Witch House is definately a must-see while in town, and you need to get your tickets/reservations well in advance because it is quite popular.

Boston has a lot of history and great food especially the seafood,Italian and sweets. Plus you can't forget fenway Park or China Town. Some things people don't know is Boston has a whale watch boat ride,a recreated mayflower, Boston teaparty reenactment you can take part in and a great aquarium.
