What is it?

Group shows include some interactive participation on stage, complete with a mini mock trial, broomstick riding, and demonstrations on unusual punishments from 1692. Click here for a sneak preview on the show.
Is it scary?
Due to the content, the show dies has some spooky moments. Witches, ghosts, and supernatural entities make appearances, and our special effects, including ghostly fog, and “4D” elements intend to startle you. We suggest sitting close to the stage if you want a thrill, and further back if you are a bit jumpy.
Is it about The Salem Witchcraft Trials?
Yes, and so much more. You'll get the facts on the witchcraft trials,learn the locations of important sites during the witchcraft hysteria of 1692, and see some truly frightening testimony taken from the transcripts of the witch trials. You’ll also experience legends of local witches, hear about Salem hauntings and witness some truly supernatural events. The after show talk is a great opportunity to ask questions about Witches as they relate to history, myth and fact.
