7 Cheap Destinations to Celebrate Halloween This Year

Salem might win the title of Halloween Town, USA. After all, it is home to the infamous witch hysteria and subsequent hanging of 19 women on Gallows Hill. Visitors can enter the Witch Dungeon to see a reenactment of a witch trial. In the evening, check out the guided candlelight Witch Trial Trail, or take the Salem Witch Walk. Tour the House of Seven Gables, the subject of Nathaniel Hawthorne's book, and don't miss the several balls that Salem throws around the special holiday — just be sure to reserve tickets early.
