Salem's Beauty

Giles Corey Bench - This is a photo of one of the benches outside the cemetary. This is the bench dedicated to Giles Corey, the only man to be pressed to death for being a witch

I recently visited Salem Mass, during October. It was absolutely beautiful. Has anybody else been there? The cemetary was fascinating to see. Outside the cemetary there are benches dedicated to each witch that was killed. This is because they were not allowed to be buried in the cemetary. It is such a beautiful place and with such strong historical value I think everyone should go.

I have never been there but it sounds like an interesting place to visit. I heard about the witch trials but I didn't know a man was amoung those they killed. Do you have any more pics?

I do Plead Not Guilty - This is on the ground as you are entering the cemetary, there are many different quotes of the witches final words. I thought they were quite interesting. Enjoy

Well I haven't been ther ebut I'd love to go. I've seen the fall in the north so I know how beautiful the trees and such can be. I can just imagine how fascinating the whole town would be. It has such a long and well known history. I think it would be a treat to visit.

I've never been there, but I always thought I would like to go sometime. October would be a good time to go. I would think they would have a lot of special things going on there because of halloween.
