Fall and Halloween are some of my favorite experiences of the entire year! I always look forward to crushing leaves, vibrant colors dancing all over the mountains and trees, and that chill in the air that requires sweaters, coats, and jackets. Don’t forget the boots, either!
Eating everything pumpkin, exploring the corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and apple orchards always bring me such joy as does experiencing these things in a variety of places. Fall is such a wonderful time to travel!
Nothing entices one to a visit like doing a ghost tour at Halloween, the most opportune time! There are many spooky and creepy places to explore but here are 7 that will make you go, “EEK!”https://www.traveltrivia.com/best-u-s-ghost-tours/YUo1G-avUQAHdKaZ?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1623978981
While these are all great haunts, nothing can compare to the thrills and chills in Boston and Salem, Massachussetts! Salem is also the home of notable American figures, from Alexander Graham Bell to Nathaniel Hawthorne. The House of Seven Gables, the Peabody Essex Museum, and much more would not be the same without this frighteningly fun city. Not only does it lay claim to the infamous Salem Witch Trials but it is also the filming location of the Halloween movie Hocus Pocus! https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g60954-Salem_Massachusetts-Vacations.html
Explore on your own without any reservations, tricky agendas, or tight time tables. https://mcmetzger01.wixsite.com/website-1

Here’s just one Hocus Pocus tour that captures the ambiance:https://www.viator.com/tours/Salem/Hocus-Pocus-25th-Anniversary-Tour/d22414-37124P5
Whatever your preference, don’t fear the reaper as the song says! Get out there and enjoy this amazing, scary, fun, and joyous October. There is something for everyone, after all!
