Salem used to be a pretty important port, but those days have gone. What remains is a small city about 40 minutes from Boston which seems to rely heavily on tourism.

Indeed, we've all heard of Salem and how people were killed there, years ago, because they were thought to be witches, haven't we? Well, if you haven't, the people in Salem will remind you. Because everywhere you turn in Salem, you'll find some Ghost Tour or some Witch Village.

So if you like Halloween, you're in the right place!
