Witch Trials and Dark Secrets of Salem
If only the residents of Salem knew what the future had in store for them. A small girl feeling sick would lead to some of early America’s darkest times. The girl’s fits, convulsions and babbling, incoherent sentences, would confuse and worry local doctors. This would have deadly consiquences. It was not until other young women started experiencing the same symptoms that the town council started to worry. The unanimous culprit of these symptoms… witchcraft.
The diagnosis spread fear and sparked a Puritan inquisition that filled a prison with innocent people, and shattered the lives of 25 people and their families. This small town with one of the most infamous reputations in the country has shifted from trying to hide its dark past to accepting and embracing it, and in the process becoming a top tourist destination for history buffs, seafood lovers, and those infatuated by the stories of witchcraft!

The water was not clear, and there were too many people trying to take selfies and ruining the peaceful atmosphere. Additionally, the facilities were poorly maintained, with broken toilets and dirty showers. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for me.
