Halloween is the time of year when the shades of the dead whisper from forgotten places and spirits walk among us. The Witches of Salem honor this time with Festival of the Dead, an annual event series that explores death’s macabre customs, heretical histories, and strange rituals. Founded by Salem Witches Shawn Poirier and Christian Day, and hosted by the foremost authorities on the spirit world, Festival of the Dead beckons guests to step through the veil into a realm where spirits await.

Become a practicing ghost hunter, peer into the future with a psychic reading, learn the ancient arts of necromancy, communicate with departed loved ones in an authentic séance, transform yourself in a ritual of death and rebirth, dance in the vampires' masquerade, enroll your kids in a school where they can make friends with ghosts, and even dine with the dead. Finally, join the Salem Witches and revelers from around the globe for the crown jewel of Salem’s Haunted Happenings at The Official Salem Witches‘ Halloween Ball, the world’s most exclusive Halloween event!

Death continues to captivate our imaginations and ensnare our minds, beckoning us to journey into unknown realms and destinations beyond the tattered shroud of mortality.
