The homeless shelter is the best value😮

I have been to Salem two times. First time in 2016 with my school during the weekend going into Halloween. It was way too crowded but I still managed to have fun. I went again last weekend. I had a great time and got to do more than my first visit. I will be going to Sleepy hollow next weekend to give it a try with an open mind. I definitely see the differences for sure. Both are a must I say especially since they have history.

I stayed here when it was a bed and breakfast . Patty the owner was fantastic . She dis a great job with the new renovation ❤

My favorite shop wasn’t mentioned- Pentagram: Witchcraft and Magik Shoppe

Key Legends Sleepy Hollow: The central figure of Sleepy Hollow is the Headless Horseman, a Hessian soldier who lost his head to a cannonball during the American Revolutionary War. He roams the area, especially near the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, terrifying anyone unlucky enough to cross his path. Salem: The supernatural legends of Salem revolve around witchcraft. Although no actual witches were involved, the town’s association with the trials has given rise to ghost stories, supposed witch curses, and other supernatural happenings. The spirits of those executed, along with tales of cursed artifacts and haunted locations, fuel Salem’s haunted reputation. 3. Cultural Impact Sleepy Hollow: "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" became an enduring part of American folklore, and the Headless Horseman is a popular figure in Halloween celebrations and ghost stories. Sleepy Hollow continues to celebrate its spooky heritage with an annual Halloween festival, attracting tourists eager to experience the eerie atmosphere described in Irving’s tale. Salem: Salem has become synonymous with witches and is a Halloween mecca, drawing visitors from all over the world. The town fully embraces its dark past with museums, tours, and festivals that explore both the history of the witch trials and modern interpretations of witchcraft. Salem is also home to practicing Wiccan and Pagan communities, giving it a unique blend of historical and contemporary mystical culture.

Sleepy Hollow and Salem are two iconic American towns steeped in folklore and history, each with its own distinctive blend of supernatural legend and real-world history. Here's a comparison between the two: 1. Origins of Their Legends Sleepy Hollow (New York): Sleepy Hollow’s fame stems largely from Washington Irving's 1820 short story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". The tale revolves around the ghostly figure of the Headless Horseman, who is said to haunt the small village, riding at night in search of his missing head. While Sleepy Hollow was a real town with early Dutch settlers, Irving’s fictionalized version gave it its eerie, otherworldly reputation. Salem (Massachusetts): Salem’s dark legacy is rooted in real historical events-the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. In this Puritan town, mass hysteria led to the execution of 20 people accused of witchcraft. The trials left an indelible mark on American history, making Salem a symbol of paranoia, injustice, and the dangers of superstition.

Let’s not forget the Kuikut mansion of the Rockerfeller family. A shuttle from Phillipsburg manor takes one there.

Sleepy Hollow celebrates it’s history and has a more positive aspect and therefore free concious perspective to do so. Salem has a dark, horroric history that the government at the time of the witch trials tried to cover up. The salem approach is to own and create a more positive narrative to the dark tragedies that occurred there. Live not far from Sleepy Hollow, visit often and study the Salem history of the witch trials. This is my assessment of why they are different foundationally.

Can't wait for the Haloween class! Hopefully in 4K and spooky/sexy! 🎃 ❤

Sleepy Hollow is a town full of history. You can visit the grave of the author. To The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The horseman bridge. It would be fun to see. Sleepy Hollow in today's world. It looks like fun.

I'm glad I found your video!! is sleepy hollow more drivable than Salem during the month of October? I'll be visiting Salem in October and Sleepy Hollow is a stop for me

Hi just went to salem and the traffic is very busy ,plus salem is a tourist location ,sleepy hollow is alot quieter ,and more historical ,salem is too but its more tourist now than historical ,

Glad I found your video. I am super relieved that Sleepy Hollow isn't like Salem. Salem was such a tourist trap cash grab last year. Nobody in Salem wants you there they just want your money and then for you to leave. The fact it costs 50 dollars a day to park in Salem in October when any other month it is only 12 dollars really sets the tone for what a cash grab that town is. Thank you for all this information that most other people are not covering.

This is indeed so very heartwarming and so very wonderful and so very beautiful and so very adorable and this brings back such great memories of when I use to be a 90s kid and an early 2000s kid and I am a new subscriber as well:).

So I’m staying 45 min from Salem so I plan to drive to Salem park on some random street away from The crowds and Uber downtown do you recommend that?

I live close to sleepy Hollow , and it's one of my favorite places to go in October

Sweet, SUBSCRIBED

This will be my 11th year in a row going to Salem. In fact I’ve been to sleepy hollow as well. The easiest way to say it, is that Salem is more commercialized. It doesn’t mean it’s bad, but hocus pocus has a huge impact to its popularity. If you like it more low key or a self guided tour sleepy hollow is great. I could even see it becoming as big as Salem. They would have to embrace the business model of Salem. I just don’t know if that is what they want.

dat look kinda tasty

EVER SINCE WATCHING DISNEY'S LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, THIS PLACE HAS BEEN MAGICAL FOR ME!!

My gosh I wish I could have visited in the 90’s 🧡. Lover this!

You definitely had the coolest troop leader of all time!

Glad to know we aren't the only family/group that starts planning and getting ready for Halloween in August 😂 So excited!

Sad to hear you don’t recommend first timers to visit in October because I just booked my flight! Thanks for the helpful info tho!

thank you so much for this! im planning a trip all the way from canada and this is super helpful

So excited for this!!

I love ur sweater with the Ghosties on it

I'm staying at the Hampton Inn in September. Can't wait!

Hi, If you had to choose between which place yo spend Halloween on, which would you do?

We just got back from the hawthorn and there was air conditioning!

My wife and I are planning a vacation to Salem in October, any good suggestions for a good hotel close to historical Salem?

We're headed to Salem this week and this list has been so helpful! I would have never guessed The Hawthorne had vegan options, and you had a few others on the list that didn't come over the last week or so of planning. I'm excited :)

I like going in July. The weather is best and not too crowded

Omg the cat/jack o lantern pair. So cute!

Agreed! Need the alien clip 😍😍

The alien clip is SO CUTE 👽🛸

👋💜🖤⚰️

Awesome list!! I spent most of my time eating in Salem at Life Alive, omg, so good. I didn't know Goodnight Fatty had vegan options, i missed out, ugh. Jodie Bees was so good too , bummer, its gone. Cant wait to visit again!🌱

💜🖤👻🎃

I recommend Hotel Salem if sharing a room and splitting cost. Pros: close to many desired locations. Its right on Essex. It also has 2 bars rooftop is popular. You can visit clean bathroom instead of searching to find one. Lastly its modern andGreat window views and clean with air conditioning as well as affordable. Cons: no breakfast, only coffee. Most rooms have only one bed. There are trundle beads that are comfortable but its an extra charge. No cable TV. If you have laptop or use their tablet or screenshare your cell for movies you're good. Sometimes a little noisy because of bar.

well said <3

Great info! 👏
