At the corner of Essex and Washington Streets, in the heart of downtown Salem, stands a striking bronze tribute to pop culture’s most iconic witch—Samantha Stephens, played by Elizabeth Montgomery in the 1960s sitcom Bewitched. Cast mid-nose-wiggle, perched on a crescent moon, and framed by a swirl of stars, the statue seems playful at first glance... but in Salem, even sitcoms cast long shadows. Unveiled in 2005, this statue sparked controversy—not because of its charm, but because of its proximity to the site of real executions during the 1692 witch trials. Today, the Bewitched Statue is a photo-op, a conversation starter, and—on moonlit nights, if you believe the rumors—something more. Locals whisper that strange EMF spikes and camera glitches have occurred near it after dark. Coincidence? Maybe. But this is Salem. Coincidence doesn’t live here.
Built in 1816, Salem’s Old Town Hall is the city’s oldest municipal building—and one of its most haunted. Actors have reported cold spots, phantom footsteps, and lights that flicker without reason. Some say a former performer never left the stage. Fans of Hocus Pocus will recognize it as the site of Allison’s Halloween party, but long before Hollywood came calling, this square was a hotbed of colonial drama. Paranormal gear tends to go wild here… and so do the stories.
Established in 1637, Old Burying Point is one of the oldest cemeteries in the United States—and easily one of the most haunted. Moss-covered headstones lean like crooked teeth, some bearing names tied directly to the witch trials, including Judge Hathorne, the infamous “Hanging Judge” who condemned the accused without remorse. Visitors often report chills, phantom whispers, and eerie sensations while walking the narrow paths. EMF detectors are known to spike unexpectedly here—especially near the oldest graves. Some say the souls here aren’t angry… just waiting to be heard. Tread lightly. Time may have buried the bodies, but not the stories.
