Off The Beaten Path: Old Salem Jail and the cemetary behind it.

For some reason, they have not converted the amazingly spooky Salem Jail into an attraction. It is by far the scariest looking building in town. It's gated off with "No trespassing" signs everywhere. The fact that there is a cemetary just behind it just adds to the spookiness. We walked up there to have a look around. Unlike the Burying Point cemetary in the center of town, this one is pretty much deserted. The graves are old, from the 1800's, and a lot of the people there died very young, 20's or younger even.

robertsullivan Fri Nov 2, 2007 03:03 UTC we are traveling up to boston at christmas are you open at this time? | sunprescot Mon Oct 1, 2007 22:49 UTC Your descriptions of places to visit, like the Salem Witch Museum were brief but very informative in all the things you would need to know if you planned on going there. | budapest8 Sat Nov 18, 2006 12:04 UTC Sounds like the Porta-Potties are the real horror of Salem on the night of Halloween. Didn't realise you had buildings built before the great fire of London.Gr8 pages.Tim | garridogal Thu Oct 12, 2006 11:17 UTC Really enjoyed reading these tips. To think that I'm so close by and have never seen Salem in action on Halloween. Shame on me! |
