This had to be the scariest place...
you had to smell these things! Yummy!!
The entrance to the Witch Museum...
this sign says,
"Bridget Bishop...Hanged...June 10, 1692.
I am no witch, I am innocent."
This is very powerful stuff...
This is a wax display of author Nathaniel Hawthorne,
author of The Scarlett Letter.
This is the Witch Trial Memorial Statue.
This is what the plaque said beside of it...
"Before you lies a heart-stirring statue that\
stands in our museum as an immortal
testament to the horrifying irrationality that
swept through Salem in 1692. On the ground,
with a haggard face dejected in despair,
lies Rebecca Nurse, who was accused of witchcraft.
Above Rebecca, struck with great terror and alarm,
stands her two sisters: Mary Esty and Sarah Cloyse.
Because she attempted to defend her sister,
Mary was also hanged as a witch.
Sarah was somehow miraculously spared."
