Touring The WITCH CITY- Salem Massachusetts

[pugs321]

Why is this city like this??

[fionakertallful]

i live in salem its awesome here

[Naiant]

The witch trials took place in what is now Danvers. At the time it was part of Salem. Poor Danvers; it's the *real* witch city, but Salem has stolen the publicity.

[Myrtlelyn]

Danvers was Salem Village and Salem was Salem Town. Stolen the Publicity ? There is a lot more to Salem than just the Witch History :)

[MrDroopdog1]

I live in the Bahamas but, on a cruise in 08 I stopped on a tour of Salem. It was very interesting doing the walking tour and going to the Witch Museum and ate at that same restaurant out on the dock there. I always wanted to go there because I had a friend who was a witch. She was a very nice person but did not practice as much lately as she did many years ago. Very sadly, she died this past Friday.

[Myrtlelyn]

@Vader58 I am sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. She is with Goddess and she is at Peace, take comfort in knowing this :)

[Vader58]

@Myrtlelyn Thank you Myrtlelyn for your kind words. I miss her so much. She had a hard life and lost her son in a motorbike accident several years ago in Guernsey, C.I., the same way she lost her husband. We met through work and she visited me in the Bahamas one year before her son died and I visited her in Guernsey last year. We were very close and she helped me and me her with our losses. My mom passed a few years ago, and she kept me going.

I've always been a little apprehensive about going to Salem because I don't want to be confused with someone who saw The Craft or Practical magic and all of a sudden is a witch.I have been practicing for about 18 years, i'm not flashy at all ( I dont tell everyone i meet, no neon sign, or door to door style pamflets type stuff).Real life has made my husband and mine's schedules kind of impossable too.Grandma wants the kids this weekend, so we'll see i guess (if the fate's allow).

[Myrtlelyn]

Blessings To everyone :)

I appreciate all the nice comments. I just wanted to pop in to thank everyone. I don't get to YouTube as often as I would like , or as I should :)

I wanted to make sure I thanked everyone :)

Blessed Be,

Myrtlelyn

[Porkmelon95]

don't go downtown in the summer, you'll run into all the annoying stoner kids.Just warning you, downtown salem is like a hangout for druggie kids. I live there, its a nice place and all, but you know. every town has those kids.

[vegitarianism09]

Are you a real witch who practices Wicca?

[Myrtlelyn]

@vegitarianism09 -Blessings,

I am a practicing Witch. I follow Wiccan Guidelines for my Religious beliefs and practices.

Enjoy your weekend. Blessed Be,

Myrtlelyn

salem got some nice buolding and this city looks so clean not like other usa city dirty and not beautiful this place got some badass history but they know how to keep thier city clean.

[crunchies14]

I lived in Beverly MA. Took the train into salem almost everyday. or walked down cabot st through downtown beverly and over the salem/beverly bridge. Now im in houston texas. what a huge difference...

[xoirishlovexo93]

they turned that black house 2 a church and destroyed it :( it suxxx

[straightcleaner]

Dont Burn the Witch!

[ABitwize]

I would love to visit Salem, MA. sometime. So rich with history and mystery. . I would assume some of the original 'courthouses' where the actual witch trials took place are still standing? Would be interesting to see.

[extraordinarystar979]

omg Giles Corey is from the Crucible

[extraordinarystar979]

I love this! I WOULD LOVE to go there and see these burial places, town and houses from the actual 1600's.

[capebee]

This is wonderful! Salem is both beautiful and interesting. Your pics show this.

[fruitandveggies24]

Holy crap, another person who knows who Kitaro is! Awesome! Love the pics. :D

[Aliesish]

i went there last October before Halloween,and it was awesome! im going back again this year and i cant wait!!

[calientida]

[Myrtlelyn]

Hi, It is a private home on Rt 107. It is on the right hand side coming in from the North Shore-Newburyport, Salisbury , Etc.

It is a very interesting home to say the least.

[jinkies59]

@Myrtlelyn The last time I was in Salem (2004), there was a sign on the front door that said "This is not a church--get over it." What an awesome place to live!

[xoirishlovexo93]

they turn that place 2 a church and now its white its suxx that place was awsome =(

[M1dnightSou1]

great city! Im probably gonna be moving here in the next few years :)

[Myrtlelyn]

It Shows :)

[PhantomsGirl32]

Beautiful pictures. Thank you so much for posting them. I'm moving to Salem soon and it was nice to see some of the places there.

[Myrtlelyn]

I am glad you enjoyed :) I used to live about 30 minutes outside of Salem. It was, and is a remarkable City. Also--nice places to visit or live-

Danvers, Beverly, Ipswich, Salisbury Beach and Hampton Beach, NH

[Myrtlelyn]

I do hope you get a good education when you get there. From your comments I feel you are a very shallow person.

I have to say I feel sorry for you and your kind !!! Have a Blessed Day )O(

[scotttbatty72]

[dude995]

[scotttbatty72]

[jinkies59]

Red's rocks!

[damiencale]

(cullyvan) Why am I a nutjob, just because I made a observation that you don't agree with? Well OMG I guess we all better know what you think is sane and what is not then from now on. Why don't you pull your bottom lip over your head and swallow. Your proof that any idiot can use a keyboard. Have a nice day.

[damiencale]

Do you notice that in some of these pictures there is a cloudy almost misty entity present. It might just be glare but you never know. I still can't get over how made it makes me feel to see innocent people accused and put to death for no reason at all. Sorry for babbling.

[33christianb33]

i love this place

[damiencale]

I loved you slide show it was incredible. The music in combination to the pictures were breathtaking. I can't wait to visit someday. I hope to live there one day or at least near by. To think these horrible things happened to innocent people it's just horrible. I almost cried. Thanks for posting.

[Myrtlelyn]

Thank you :) I hope you get a chance to go. You will always remember it .

[jay4457]

I love salem, i visited there when i sold magazines door to door, the people there were great

[KateLove21]

I go there every year around Halloween time : ) -- I usually have a few new friends (I tend to hang around with Koreans a lot; so I make a lot of exchange student friends). I brought my Korean boyfriend there last year, they don't have Halloween in Korea -- He was shocked seeing all the people there ..

Also Salem has a lot of history other than the Witch trails. The architecture/small streets, quaint shops/cafe's - is really pretty too.

[KateLove21]

PS. The Ghost walks @ night are a MUST .. They're really informative, plus quite spooky ^ ___ ^

[Ineededanaccount0]

Salem is nothing but a bunch of Fat goth chicks sitting in the grass smoking cigarettes/pot and giving people dirty looks, haha

[Myrtlelyn]

Be careful :)

Your IQ is showing .

[Ineededanaccount0]

Hey we're in Massachusetts who has an IQ anyway right

[selfhatredcreep]

there is no thing like an iq

[KateLove21]

You obviously don't know much about Massachusetts : /

[Ineededanaccount0]

I guess living here for the past 12 years, yeah I guess I wouldn't know much would I...

[KateLove21]

Well then you must live in a pretty hicky area ... I've lived here my whole life --- that's almost 21 years, and there's really intelligent people here ... Do you not ever go to Boston? It's the #1 University city in the US ... Heard of Harvard ? : P

[Myrtlelyn]

Where do you live ?? Under a Rock ???

[Myrtlelyn]

This comment was for you --

Ineededanaccount0

[Myrtlelyn]

Salem is a Beautiful Historic City, and so is the Whole surrounding area.

There is a lot to see and do , Witch Craft aside !! If you live there and can not appreciate it, then you are right --you have no IQ= Admitted Idiot.

I used to live outside Salem , And have been visiting most of my life. I have never seen what you describe.

Furthermore, your NASTY Comment had nothing to do with what my Slideshow represents and you are very RUDE and Insulting.

Blessed Be !!!

[Myrtlelyn]

Also for you ----

John Hathorne was an ancestor of the author, Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is said that Nathaniel may have changed his name to disassociate himself from his ancestor, the Judge.

[makemefall]

John Hathorne was one of the judges for the witch trials

[Spiritree41]

Thanks for the education...

[RivaWitch]

Great video!

I love Salem. I make a point to drive up at least twice a year.

[Myrtlelyn]

It is one of my favorite cities. It hs so much to offer-including a great place for Witches to be open without conflict.

I love all the old homes, stone roads, old trees , the ocean. I just do not like the Winter---too cold !!!

[SilverButterflyWings]

id love to go there, the witches mecca :o)
