Edgar Award-winning trip creator spends an autumn living in one in every of The usa’s spookiest tourist destinations: Salem, Massachusetts
Salem, Massachusetts, is also the strangest city on the earth. A single event in its 400 years of history―the Salem Witch Trials of 1692―transformed it into the Capital of Creepy in The usa. But Salem is a seasonal town―and its season happens to be Halloween. Each October, this small city of 40,000 swells to more than a quarter million as witches, goblins, ghouls, and ghosts (and their admirers) descend on Essex Street. For the autumn of 2015, occult enthusiast and Edgar Award-winning creator J.W. Ocker moved his circle of relatives of four to downtown Salem to experience firsthand a season with the witch, visiting all of its historical sites and macabre attractions. In between, he interviews its leaders and citizens, its entrepreneurs and visitors, its street performers and Wiccans, its psychics and critics, creating a picture of this unique place and the individuals who revel in, or merely weather, its witchiness. 25 b/w photographs
