Looking for something to do to get in the Halloween spirit? Check out the Salem Magic Show !  The show had us on the edge of our seat. Every year is a different theme. This year it was phobias.   The magician did a great job of getting the crowd involved and keeping everyone in suspense.  Afterwards we went to see the Old Burying Point Cemetery and walk around town.
