My Spring 2023 Trip to Salem! 

I literally saw the title and gasped and said “Oh fun!!!!” I want to go to Salem so bad

I live in MA and have been to Salem a few times around Halloween and it is soooo crowded!! You can hardly move. Forget about getting a table for any meal, standing in lines that go around buildings to get into stores and exhibits, lots of time wasted waiting. Great idea to go off season and be able to enjoy it more!

Oh, I visited Salem a few years ago and I had such a great time seeing all the locations for Hocus pocus. But I think what a lot of people forget to keep in mind is that all of those people that were killed. None of them were actually witches so for many people it is the location of martyrdom if you stop and think of it but what a fascinating place Salem is I can't wait to have another opportunity to go back. I love the shops, especially the emporium and thoroughly modern Milly I think is the name of the place. So fun and the food was so great

I’m lucky to live close enough that Salem is an easy daytrip but I will NEVER go often enough to satisfy my spooky heart 🖤 so glad you enjoyed your trip!

LOVE this amazing tour of all my favorite spots in my favorite town!! thank you so much for visiting us at nocturne, it was so incredible to meet you and ghoul out with you! 👻💋🪦🧡

Awww...so glad you and your bestie enjoyed Salem. It is fun during off times. Ive been there several times and became friends with a lady who had been one of the official tea leaf readers there for over 55 years. She retired and passed away not long ago. One of my favorite shops to go in is The Silversmith shop....its almost too much to take in if you collect stones and crystals. Its fun to get off the beaten paths there and take in the water ways. There is a small area of beach that was always fun at the wharf, along with going in the antique shop. 🔮 Oh yeah, Red's is the best!---you can't eat it all. 😋

Salem is on my bucket list along with New Orleans. Thank you so much for taking us with you!!! That looked like SO much fun and you and your beautiful friend have some special souvenirs to mark that memory. The place you stayed is incredible 😱 I’m a sucker for old architecture lol ❤❤❤

Yay for your Reiki session!!! I’ve been a Reiki Master & Teacher for well over a decade now- Reiki is life changing 🤍🙏🏽

The foggy rainy shots 🫶 my heart

The crocheted bacon and eggs in the diner was so cute! LOL

My best friend who passed away almost 5 yrs ago…. She was a Reiki master! ❤❤❤ it’s great stuff!!

Salem looks so lovely! I wish I could have gone when I lived on the east coast. I'll have to get there one day!

It is a beautiful city. I was just there this past weekend. There is history, great food, amazing shops, beautiful old architecture, and fun stuff to do at night. I bought myself a few goodies from The Black Veil, Witch City Wicks, 1925 (a sister store of Emporium 32), and Blackcraft! I live in southeastern MA so I am about a 90 min drive away.

Next time you go, make sure to take the Witch Walk tour, it’s run by Crow Haven Corner. You get to participate in a spell and do a nice tour of the city, I’ve done it twice and both times learned something new.

I absolutely loved this vlog / haul! I visited Salem after my mom passed in 2014 and it was an absolutely magical healing experience. It was lovely "revisiting" some of the locations when you went there yourself! Your besom turned out amazing and I am excited for 'baby's first ouija' haha!

It was very cool to see your Salem adventure. I have been wanting to go for a long time.

This new video flew by!! What a fabulous Salem trip!🖤👻 I can only imagine the vibe visiting all the spooky shops and sights. Loved the great things you brought home, and I absolutely adore that dress that you found!! 👻🖤✨🌹💀🧹🎃🦇

I live nearby and my cousin lives on the wharf so, I like to visit often. If you didn’t get a chance to stop, the Salem mall is a blast from the past and there are a couple cool shops and haunted houses in there. The Peabody Essex Museum is really nice but, not aimed specifically towards the witch trials or Salem history. Also, Goodnight Fatties for cookies and Gula Gula for coffee, you won’t be disappointed. It’s also noteworthy that Salem is very LGBTQ+ friendly and North Shore Pride is held there every year. If you go during October then you won’t want to miss Haunted Happenings in the park, sooo many talented artists and scenes from Hubie Halloween were filmed there 🎃

Its soo crazy two of my fellow RU-vidrs i follow went to Salem seems around the same time and posted video's tne same day about it lol You and Pumpkin and Gray ☺️

Hi Midge! I just wanted to say that I just adore you and your fun and kind personality, your super cute outfits and home decor, and your content. It was fun to live vicariously through you for this trip until I get the chance to go there myself. Thanks for sharing!

This was so so interesting. Thank you for the tour. Though one can't help but contemplate Salem's sad past. Carolyn from Long Island.

I use to live outside Portland Maine. I could drive to Salem in about 90 minutes. I got to experience Halloween there multiple times. I also got opportunities to visit other than Halloween. Whether you go for Halloween or any other time of year, Salem is a great seaport city accessible by foot with lots of history, shopping, dining, and of course witchcraft! 🧙‍♀️

Salem is my favorite place to visit ever ,3 or 4 times a year 💙

I love visiting this magical little town in the off season...Reds is the first place I go for the amazing breakfast! Also, fun fact! Turners Seafood restaurant is rumored to have been built on land that belonged to Bridget Bishop and was once her apple orchard!

I'm so glad you had a great trip! It looks so magical, thanks for sharing it with us, I love a travel vlog! 🧡✨

Salem is on my bucket list. I would love to live there.

I think I was there at the same time as you and the first day there was MISERABLE weather! 😂 Loved Red’s the most too. And I would’ve lived at Essex NY Pizza in Witch City Mall when I was a teen. Great vibes all round.

How very enchanting 💜🖤💜🖤

It was so refreshing to see this Salem trip. My friends and I went in October one year and it was a horrible experience. I think it would be refreshing to go during the spring to actually get to enjoy some of what Salem has to offer. This video did make me remember some of the sights which was a great reminder of the friend trip.

This is the content of Salem I love to see. Of course Halloween season looks amazing but it’s nice to see the town when it’s not crazy crowded. I dream of the day when I can get to Salem 🎃. I also really liked the music you chose for this video. Putting this video in my favorites list for sure ❤

I visited Salem in 2021 we stay at the Hawthorne Hotel. So much fun!

Absolutely loved it. What a joy to watch. ✌️&❤️ from northern Ontario Canada💀🎃💀🎃💀🎃👻

The note about the UPS being near the broom making just made my whole wedding party sigh in relief!!! Can't wait to go in September 🖤🧡

Thanks for the great trip!! How fun!!🧙‍♀️

How exciting! I would love to do an in season trip to Salem, it's not too long of a drive from where I live but I've never been. I think this would be super fun, and thank you so much for sharing with us!

We were in Salem for Halloween last year and loved it so much! Would love to experience it again at this time of the year, it looks so much more relaxing.

Thanks for highlighting the eateries. Most creators skip that to talk more about shops and tourist spots. But I'm all about the food too.

thank you for sharing your delightful journey with us🎃💜

Thanks for sharing this, planning a trip this fall, super helpful!

That looked like a wonderful trip. Thank you so much for sharing it.

You guys looked so cute for your birthday bash weekend!

Aaaaahhhhh😱😱😱😱❤️❤️❤️ thank u for sharing!!!! Love it!!!❤️❤️❤️XXXOOO!!!!

My daughter and I have a trip to Salem the end of September. We haven’t been in 15 years so your video gave us some great ideas. Thank you so much.

So glad you had an awesome time. I just 🖤 going to Salem and can’t wait to go back again within the next couple years 🧙‍♀️

This just made me want to go to Salem even more then I already do! I'm planning to go for my 30th in a couple of years all the way from Australia. It'll take a lot to get there, but I'm sure it's going to be worth it!

Looked like a very fun trip to Salem Great job on the broom as well. Thanks for taking us along on your trip; Happy Halfoween

That is so awesome.

Loved your video! Witch City Wicks is awesome for candles and other lovely things 🖤

That looked like such an amazing vacation! Glad you enjoyed yourself! Aww I need to travel to America!🖤🖤

Loved this! It’s my dream to visit Salem and I loved seeing your adventures!

I literally stumbled across your vlog n glad I did. U r enchanting. Living in Boston I love to go to Salem! U did a great tour! New subscriber😆

Love the broom

what a fun trip! I want to go for my birthday in Oct. thanks for sharing, Ive never been so it's nice to see some of the neat places to visit. I found a vintage wood board from the 60s recently at Goodwill thrift store. Seeing all the old boards was cool.

I very much enjoyed this video, Midge! I took notes. I stopped in Salem for a few hours on October 14th 2022 and, you aren't kidding! It was insane, crowd wise. You *did* have the town to yourself! I would like to go back when I have more time.

Love the witch board! The broom is awesome!❤⁷

What a fun video! Im hoping to finally go to Salem in a few months. Thank you so much for letting us know there's a post office near The Witchery! I wanted to book an appointment to make brooms but didn't know how to bring it home or whether the post office would have boxes for them!

Awesome vlog!!! Bucket list destination for sure!!! 🎃🕸🧹👻🥰

Aaahhhhh! It's my life dream to go to Salem but unfortunately my anxiety stops me from going on a plane 😢 but I'm so glad you had so much fun!

🧡🧡🧡🧡Great video 🧡🧡the broom

A braille Ouija board??? That is so COOL.

I love this so much!! I've always dreamt of visiting Salem and I'm hoping to be able to do so soon!!! All of the places you mentioned and visited sounding so so amazing, but I think The Witchery and being able to build a broom is the thing I loved the most.

loved this video definitely planning my trip! soon

I live in Australia and I have been to Salem twice. I felt like I had gone home when I arrived. Such a beautiful place. I would love to go back (Or move there!). Loved your vlog.

Walk these streets daily and it’s so cool to see from someone else’s perspective! You miss things sometimes too in just the day to day … come back soon!! 🖤🖤

I go every October and April! You went to some of my favorite spots

I cannot agree with you more about John and The Witchboard Museum! My husband and I went on my birthday last December and had a wonderful time. It was my favorite place in Salem, too! Thanks for the video, now I have a few more places in mind to visit next time.

Loved this! I hope to travel to Salem one day and I cannot wait for your future deep dive on Mary Shelley on GNI!

Salem is on my bucket list. It looks like you had an amazing time.

This is making me want to go back! Loved the video & Turners was one of our favorite dinners we had there 🥰

Thank you so much for this video. My bestie and I will be going in less than 2 weeks! This was the perfect video for reference. Unfortunately the broom making class is full til November but I will be purchasing the kit and will take up your idea on sending it back. Maybe I can try for a witch hat making class…that’d be fun too.

I actually love The Howling Wolf. We went twice and also recommended it to my sister when she went a few months after me. I last went to Salem in November. I love it there! We stay at the Hawthorne and just walk everywhere.

It’s the only time to go, honestly. I love how beautiful the House of the Seven Gables garden is during summer and spring. I should drive up soon before September hits.

I want to go to Salem now, I'm inspired

Hi Midge I am new here! This is my first time seeing your video. I was so shocked and in aww that you are just like me all about halloween and vintage. I am in heaven here. Thank you for sharing.

Oh man, I am travelling to Salem in September and you’ve hit up ALL the places I plan to check out, right down to Salem Ink! I really appreciate this video!

excellent !!! 😉

Awesome video! I appreciated the narration. Can’t wait to take my daughter some day!

That was so much fun ❤ Thanks for sharing 😊 i ❤ your broom and the Halloween 3 quija board. I also ❤ the vintage packaging on the planchettes. Have a fabulous week ✌️💖🎃

Thank you for sharing . We are going the end of September, have already booked classes for broom making and book making ! So excited and thank you for some more suggestions to go to and eat at ! 👻

This was a Blast🧹🔮 TY

Ahhh! What a dream!
