I went to a witch ceremony in Salem, MA at Halloween a couple of years ago. She told us to make a wish. I did and it came true. I should probably go back...
Lots of good restaurants, Interesting city. But there are indeed some strange people there, and one townie I knew said (to my stated curiosity on what it is like there on Halloween) said he avoids the place on Halloween and stays out of town for the evening. Not because of the crowds and traffic, but because the city becomes a magnet for every weirdo on the face of the earth. The person said it was disconcerting to be in the presence of so much strangeness in one place.
I would readily admit it is true, from what I saw last weekend.
I must admit, though, that this particular liquor store made me laugh out loud, and I considered buying a tshirt from them..."Bunghole Liquors"
