From their website: “A festive celebration of Halloween and fall in New England. We invite you to experience a unique one of a kind Halloween experience. From the Grand Parade and Family Film Nights on Salem Common to ghost tours, haunted houses and so much more.”

And one of those special Salem events is…

Clue Live! Presented by our very own Haunted Dinner Theater. This special event takes place at the historic Hawthorne Hotel, situated in the heart of Salem, MA.

Interrogate the suspects, collect the clues, and solve the mystery while enjoying a decadent buffet. Join our cast of killers for an unforgettable experience as we present for your entertainment, Clue Live. Fun, food, spirits, and a mystery to solve – all in one memorable night!

 

Another fun and interesting activity that is unique to Salem is Black Cat Tours. They have Historic Day Tours and Ghostly Night Tours, and neither of them have more than a mile of walking, so there is something for everyone. The daytime tours are about “Pirates, Puritans, Witchcraft, and War” while their night time shows are about hauntings, ghosts, ghost hunters, and bone-chilling stories.
