As I take a moment to look up from my computer in my office in downtown Bedford, I glance out the window at the First Parish Church, the changing leaves of the large Maple tree on the common and a mother and her two small children walking on the sidewalk, I can’t help but reminisce about my childhood growing up in this wonderful town! I fondly remember the jail at Bedford Day, which we were happy to resurrect this year, I think of parades with floats, scouts, and militia, bike rides, school crushes, the prom stroll, trick or treating and the annual haunted house! Back then it was held in the old town hall and I recall meeting my friends as we stood on the steps anticipating being frightened by the ghosts and goblins that lurked within. We would scream with delight as we walked the haunted halls and cling to each other for support in laughter! Yes, remembering the good old days! The haunted event only took place for a few years, but the memories lasted a life time. In recent years, the First Parish Church resumed …show more content…
But this isn’t the only frightening Halloween haunt in the area. Older kids will delight in fright at Witch’s Woods in Westford.

On the 30th of June, 1986 the Snedeker family moved into their new home in Southington, Connecticut. Soon after they moved in, strange and frightening things started happening.

Certain it is, the place still continues under the sway of some witching power, that holds a spell over the minds of the good people, causing them to walk in a continual reverie.

It was a small town in Cornersville, Ohio. Nothing much ever happened in this small town until one day. A new family moved in one afternoon. Everyone was surprised because no one even noticed the house being built. Everyone was still delighted that they moved in because the couple, Bob and Nancy, were very friendly. Bob and Nancy helped with all the activities in town and were very generous. A couple of weeks after they moved in, a lot of strange things began.

September 12th, 2015. We had arrived in Boston the day before after a ten hour drive which wasn’t as bad as you’d think it would be. Sure, it definitely felt like a ten hour drive, but it was an entirely new experience for me. I crossed the US border for the first time, received by first American dollar bill, and to pass the time, I kept track of every different license plate I laid my eyes on; 16 different states and provinces to be exact. The ideas that a mother and son duo from a tiny community in Quebec came across another person with a California plate on their car intrigued me, and this really made time fly. Before we knew it, we were entering the city of Boston.

Salem was once a tight-knit farming and fishing community where the people living there lived off hard work and their own puritan faith. This changed in 1692, when nineteen men and women, all having been convicted of witchcraft, were carted off to Gallows Hill for hanging. While another man of over eighty years old was pressed to death under heavy stones for remaining silent during his trial for witchcraft charges. Hundreds of others faced accusations of witchcraft. Dozens languished in jail for months without trials. Then, almost as soon as it had begun, the hysteria that swept through puritan Massachusetts ended.
