So sick of Salem

Everyone flocks to Salem for the witch trials, especially for Halloween. Everyone thinks the Salem witch trials happened in Salem. They happened in Danvers. Although it was Salem village at the time.

But still not Salem. Also Danvers has a worse history.

Actually the trials (and hangings) did happen in Salem. Many of the people who were accused lived in what is now Danvers.
