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! 👻💋🪦🧡

The foggy rainy shots 🫶 my heart

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

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

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

A slow visit in Salem sounds soooo nice 😍

I’ve always wanted to go to Salem - the video is super helpful!! Glad you had fun, Midge ☺️🎃

I love Salem! This is such a fun video!

Happy Halfway to Halloween! 👻 🎃 I was so excited to see this video because I plan to go to Salem this year & wanted to hear all about your experience. Sounds like you had a great time!

What a fun and super rad experience!

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!

I have watched this twice now ❤ living vicariously through you midge lol so happy for you! It looked amazing 😻

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

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 🧙‍♀️

Looks like such a magical time! Especially making your own broom. I hope to do that someday. 🧡🎃🖤

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

We can’t wait to go to Salem again!

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

Loved this video, thanks Midge! Great job! Would love to go to Salem 😊

Oh this is making me miss Salem oh so much!!! 😊

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!

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

What an awesome trip! This is definitely on my bucket list! Thanks ymfor sharing!

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

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.

Amazing!!

How fabulous! Thank you for sharing! Definitely on my list of places to go! 🥰❤️

Salem is at the top of my "Places to Visit" list! Thank you for sharing with us & allowing us to enjoy your trip with you.

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

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 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!

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 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.

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

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!

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

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

That is so awesome.

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!

thank you for sharing your delightful journey with us🎃💜

loved this video definitely planning my trip! soon

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

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.

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 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 ❤

Your lamp!!!! love it!

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

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.

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.

Love the broom

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

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.

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

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 ! 👻

Awww, this was fun to watch. You’re bringing me back to my October Salem trip 11 years ago. I NEED to go back. 😩 Have you ever been to “Sleepy Hollow” region of upstate NY? This is the place I am NEEDING to get to in one magical autumn soooo soon.

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.

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.

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 ❤❤❤

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

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

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 ✌️💖🎃

🧡🧡🧡🧡Great video 🧡🧡the broom

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!

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.

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.

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.

WOW the boom making looked SO COOL. I'll need to do that next time I go! Reds is the best! I once drove up from New Jersey just to eat there!

I truly enjoyed the tour of Salem it is such a beautiful place and you did an excellent job capturing Salem in all its glory and the places you ate at had such nice decor also what made walking around Salem and enjoying the sights was the music you added it truly went so well as you talked about about each of the places we visited so thanks so much Salem is truly a beautiful place also all the souvenirs you got were amazing and it looks like you got a treasure chest of goodness now I’m so happy you had such a wonderful trip and thanks for sharing it now with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Midge and I’ll see you on the next awesome Midge Munster video peace ☮️ out ✌️🎃👻☠️

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 🖤🧡

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

What a fun experience now i want to go. I bet it is amazing in the Fall

Its soo crazy two of my fellow KZfaqrs 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 ☺️

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😆

This was a Blast🧹🔮 TY

Ahhh! What a dream!

Omg! Thank you for this video! Makes me re-lived our trip last May 2022. I want to go back so mad! We were there a whole week! And still not enough time! Wish I would had got that Halloween 3 witch board! My Mom and I with to the Witchery. I just bought a broom. Mom got her broom making stuff to go. . Reds is definitely the best place for breakfast and there Bloody Mary's are delicious! Food at that little Italian restaurant is 🤌🏻 yummy! Spring is definitely a good time to go! Hopefully I'll get to go back again!

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!! 🖤🖤

Omg, I'm so happy you went here! We have a girls' trip that we do every year (and this time, it will be my bachelorette in august!😆). Reds by far is our favorite breakfast spot, but if you are going during busy season, prepare to wait. Blackcraft is my friends new favorite, and emporium 32 is my favorite store ( I love getting my sealing wax for my letters here). A few recommendations not listed: 1. The Village Silversmith is my friends favorite shop. Great jewlery, and they tell you what each stone is used for 2. Omen/hex are two shops also on new Orleans and cater more to different types of craft. I love their spell bath bombs. 3. The covens cottage does not allow recording or photos, but their stuff is awesome for green witches/nordic/celtic things. 4. Salem ink and art gallery is where we got our matching tattoos, and we loved the art and the service they had. 5. Trolley Depot is a great place to look aside from the obviously branded souvenir shops for other people. 6. Salem Waterfront is a great hotel, but rooms fill up super quick, durring busy season. Maybe when I go I'll see you there!

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!

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. 😋

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! 🧙‍♀️

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

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!

You guys looked so cute for your birthday bash weekend!

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.

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

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.

How very enchanting 💜🖤💜🖤

We went a year and a half ago a month before Halloween and everything was decorated already! We stayed at The Hawthorn Hotel(spooky history there). The place ya all stayed at looked amazing! Loved that trip for sure.

very cool

Salem is on my bucket list.

excellent !!! 😉

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

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.

OMG! I wish I’d run into you while you were there, I work right in downtown Salem! LOVE the Ugly Mug, their blueberry pancakes are phenomenal! 🎃
