Yeah, definitely a good time. Usually quite safe and fun. There are kids about in the early hours of the evening (don't get lulled into a sense of security or do somfin stupid though - common sense applies).<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.salemweb.com/calendar/">www.salemweb.com/calendar/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"I've learned there are three things you don't discuss with people: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin."-Linus</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <p></p><i></i>

Don't do anything stupid, like...?<br><br>If I see people in black robes holding candles, should I walk the other way? That's just a weak example, but what specific things should I be weary of? I'm going at night. <p></p><i></i>

Oh, I don't think you'll see any animal sacrifices or Crowley followers chanting. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> It's quite an innocuous night about the town. The local TV crews are usually all propped up; it's Salem's big night o' the year! Their time to shine! They don't like/allow stuff to get out of hand. There are a whole bunch of witch museums and Wiccan shops, etc. It's quite the tourist-trap. A good amount of Salem's finest are around to keep things on the up and up. <p></p><i></i>
