Salem has never left the shadow of those days but instead thrives as a haven of the bizarre and a modern outpost for the weird. Despite its year-round eldritch spirit, Salem is a seasonal town--and its season happens to be Halloween. Every October, this small city of 40,000 swells to close to half a million as witches, goblins, ghouls, and ghosts (and their admirers) descend on Essex Street. For the fall of 2015, occult enthusiast J.W. Ocker moved his family of four to downtown Salem to experience firsthand a season with the witch, visiting all of its historical sites and macabre attractions. In between, he interviews its leaders and citizens, its entrepreneurs and visitors, its street performers and Wiccans, its psychics and critics. From these exchanges, he creates a picture oi this unique place and the people who revel in, or merely weather, its witchiness. Experience the thrills (and chills) of Halloween through the eyes of a curious and adventurous outsider in the city that has defined this day for generations."--Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 133.43097 Oc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 133.43097 Oc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 133.4309 Oc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 133.43097 Oc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
