The witches' town - Salem
When it comes to Halloween, witch is an indispensable topic. The town of Salem, which located near Boston, is famous for the "witch trial" in the seventeenth Century.
Just one week before the Halloween, I came to this magic town and began my crazy adventure. Walking on the street, I was attracted immediately by the various amazing "Halloween look". They were wearing different creative costumes. Then you could see the ghosts, zombies and aliens walking around you, even the dogs also dressed up for the festival.

If you really want to know the history of this witches' town,the Salem Witch Museum can brings you back to 1692 Salem. Experience the drama of history in life-size stage sets, figures, lighting and a stirring narration. Live guides take you through changing interpretations of witches, the truth behind the stereotypes, witchcraft practice today and the frightening phenomenon of witch hunting. As I missed the open hour of the museum, I didn't really get into it. So if you don't want to miss this important spot, it is better for you to get there earlier.
When the night fell, the big party just began, my friends and I chose to enjoy a stage play which is about the famous "Salem witch trial". It is about a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. The trials resulted in the executions of twenty people, most of them women. But in the play, anything can be changed. What the interesting thing of this play is the actors let you to engage in the story and let the audience to decide whether the heroine is guilty or not. Finally the “witch” was acquitted and we revised the history.
