Either way, definitely a totally real ghost.

While Salem is usually associated with the infamous witch trials that began in 1692, the witch hysteria actually took place in Salem Village, which is known today as the town of Danvers. Regardless, Salem has embraced its spooky past and is a popular tourist attraction during the weeks leading up to, and during Halloween.
