    Guide to the Hocus Pocus Filming Locations in Salem, Massachusetts

    I’m going to give you one guess as to what the most-watched Halloween movie is. Did you guess Hocus Pocus? I hope so. That’s right – the most-watched Halloween movie isn’t even a horror film. Although, if you started watching Hocus Pocus when it first came out as I did, in 1993, then maybe it scared you a tiny bit? The Sanderson Sisters were no joke, okay? If you were anything like me, Hocus Pocus just started your obsession with Halloween, witches, and possibly Salem, Massachusetts? Salem was the setting of Hocus Pocus and the filming location and when I finally – finally – got to visit recently, I made…

    9 Things to Do in Salem Massachusetts in October

    Headed to Salem in October? The things to do in Salem MA in October are endless. It’s definitely one of the best Halloween towns in the entire world and even if you’re not a huge Halloween fan, there’s still plenty to do in October or any month that makes Salem a worthy destination. Salem is full of deep and fascinating (and tragic) history, beautiful and unique architecture, and a definite festive spirit. I have been dreaming of visiting Salem for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been drawn to the creepy and spooky stories and destinations. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday and fall my favorite season.…

    13 Destinations to Spend Your Next Halloween

    Halloween. Allhalloween. All Hallows’ Eve. All Saints’ Eve. Samhain. However you classify it, it’s observed by many countries all over the world on the last day of October. Halloween is personally my favorite holiday and I love learning about the origins of my favorite holiday and finding the best Halloween towns to spend it in. It is widely believed that many of the traditions most of us love originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, more specifically Samhain. These pagan festivals were formed into Christian holidays much like Yule is to Christmas and Ostara to Easter. Many Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o lanterns, bonfires, visiting haunted…

    Exploring Two of Boston’s Garden Cemeteries

    My dad has a thing for cemeteries. He’s a retired history teacher and is fascinated by old tombstones, in particular. He loves coming to visit me in Boston, where we have not one but four historic cemeteries downtown, which serve as the final resting place for many important figures from the early days of our nation. This is a guest post by Brianne Miers of A Traveling Life.  On two recent visits, he and I decided to branch out of downtown and explore two of the most notable “garden cemeteries” in the U.S., which have a much different feel than urban cemeteries. Garden cemeteries – or “rural cemeteries” – sprung…
