Visitors from a vast vacationland follow their own hysteria to a perceived presence which is hauntingly housed throughout the shadowy streets of a storied city.
Wearing creative Halloween costumes countless hordes are drawn into an anticipation abyss, searching for lurking manifesting macabre and some semblance of sensory validation.

I can only imagine this street on Hallows Eve – I am quite certain there is a feeling of ‘something’ in the air – but the question I must ask is “is the candy good?, because going trick-or-treating on a street with below par candy is kinda sucky” – yes, a trick-or-treater must have their priorities on point! 🙂

Maybe it’s time for a fresh coat of paint on that house! A cheery yellow? A stately red?
An evocative post.

I wonder what color. Now it looks like Sherwin-Williams Spooky House Exterior Gray.

Good point about the candy-quality wordsforjp. I like this one; image and the tale. This house looks cool but I guess at night, that could change.

Oh I love this photo! I have a similar one from my visit there a few years ago. Every garden and alley in Salem has a story and to spend All Hallows there would be perfect.

I find it odd that the walk, don’t walk be placed as a dim reminder that one must obey the rules at all times or pay the steep price of becoming the reason people are “searching for lurking manifesting macabre and some semblance of sensory validation.”
