What is in Your Future? See a Psychic.

Ever wonder what was possible for you in the future? Trying to figure out how to handle a situation? Looking to see if you can create a big change in your life? A reading at one of the psychic fairs or with a master of divination just might be of help! At Salem Haunted Happenings we have psychics and masters galore throughout the city!

ALL psychics in the city of Salem at businesses and fairs are licensed by the city of Salem and must have this posted. Psychics use many kinds of tools such as tarot card, crystal balls, psychometry, numerology, astrology, palm reading, lace and more. They also come from a variety of faith traditions from Christian mysticism, shamanism, Wicca and Witchcraft.

This post is about some our Haunted Happenings sponsors in town with incredible people who do psychic readings, lead séances and offer delightful guidance. Call a head if you wish to schedule at a certain hour. Lines can be quite long at the fairs and really good readers!

At Pickering Wharf :

Have you read the book The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry? Remember the store in the book?
Artemisia Botanicals look similar to the picture woven of the store in that story. Here you too can make appointments to have a reading with lace just like in the book! A delightful shop to browse while you are waiting. It is brimming with gifts and herbal mixtures for teas. Phone: 978-745-0065

Around the corner next to Victoria Station is a quaint store known as “The Best Witch Shop in the Witch City." NuAeon: Home of White Light Pentacles & the Temple of Nine Wells offers spiritual consultations by Salem Witch Elders. Appointments here MUST be scheduled. By doing this you will not have to wait in a line. A destination for lovers of magick & Witchcraft. Browse art, artifacts & collectibles unavailable elsewhere. Phone: 978-745-8668

What is Salem's Haunted Happenings?

Haunted Happenings bean as a daylong party for children. Over time it has grown to a one week, two week and now month long celebration. It has also gone from a few individuals planning it to hundreds of community members,  businesses, community groups, churches, schools and corporations working together to welcome the world's visitors. It is our city's gift to the season and we invite you all to come!

The streets are filled with fabulous merchants, award winning restaurants, dramatic theatrical productions, psychic fairs, scary haunted houses, children's activities, and world renown museums! There is something for all ages to do.

Salem is a fine walking city also and because of that you will not miss a beat of the activities and excitement. Bring a good pair of walking shoes. If that is not your style, then hop on and off trolleys or ride in a pedicab once you arrive in the city. 

To get to Salem we strongly suggest public transportation! Parking is tight in our small community but you can take the train from North Station in Boston or hop on the Salem Ferry which leaves Central Wharf in Boston near the Aquarium. On board the ferry you can purchase discount tickets to transportation on shore.

Our hotels fill quickly for the season. Call ahead for reservations if you wish to stay in Salem. Visit our website for more information on accommodations. 

You will also want to check about making reservations at many of our museums and haunted attractions for the event. With so many visitors long lines are normal if you do not book ahead.

So come, visit our enchanting city. Discover its magic along with the magic of the season!
