I did find I had some whacked out dreams ALL night long. One involved a family friend in a car accident with very visual imagery of the scene. The friend didn’t make it.
One involved Paul falling and having head trauma and we had to go to the hospital.
Then my dreams went back to the car accident and I had to tell my mom about the death. Of course I didn’t want to upset her and struggled with how to tell her. For some reason, I kept seeing the imagery of the car accident and the person, dead.
Other than that, I slept well. Ha! I was comfortable and slept like a log. I didn’t watch tv the night before, or have conversations that would trigger these dreams.
We moved out of room 325 and got a different room for tonight. It isn’t “haunted”. We moved all of our things, turned in our keys to room 325 and we were getting ready to start our trip to the Witch House.
Ethan couldn’t find his sunglasses. We went back to our room 325 and asked a maid to open it up to look. She was unable to open it. I went down to the front desk, got a key and went back upstairs. The key didn’t work. Went back down to the front desk and went back up to the room. Still didn’t work. Went BACK down, had to have a staff member come up and unlock the door with a brass key. After Ethan looked all over, we still didn’t find his glasses. He was bummed and assumed he had lost his sunglasses.
I suggested we look in the van on our way out. Boom! We found them. He was so relieved.
We went to the Witch house and learned about how the Corbin family lived in 1692. It was crazy to see bricks and wood that old. We also got to see a poppet that was over 300 years old.
A poppet is a doll made to represent a person, for casting spells on that person or to aid that person through magic. They are occasionally found lodged in walls.
We also went to the Orlak’s Nightmare Gallery. It features replica monsters from all the classic horror films. Everyone enjoyed that.
We saw different characters wandering around the stone and brick roads. The clown from IT. A big tall scary guy. Lots of people walked around in witch attire.
We had lunch at Flaying Saucer Pizza. They made specialty pizzas. They were delicious. The artwork was cool too.
Ethan made him way back to the hotel to rest and not shop. Us girls decided to go in all the witch, psychic, oddity stores. They all smelled like pleasant incense. We picked up neat little trinkets and came back to the hotel to rest before the ghost walk this evening.
We went on our ghost walk and heard all the stories of Salem. They were interesting, crazy and sad in their own way. One of the people essentially bulldozed a cemetery to put up their house like 150 years ago. It displaced many graves.
We went to dinner and a wedding party came in. They were so loud and obnoxious. We quickly ate and left.
It was a good day.
Looks like fun!
