Location:Lynn, MA
Interests:I lived in Danvers, MA from 1959 until 1977. I know live in Lynn. My house in Danvers was in the nieghborhood where a lot of the women that were convicted of being witches in 1692 lived. Such people such as Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Putnam, and many others. This part of town is know for its hauntings for many years. A lot of people think the witch trial happenings were in Salem, but Danvers was knon as Salem Village during that crazy time in our history. So if you want to see the real area of the witch trials you have to travel to Danvers, not Salem, MA.<br /> I also attended school at the Essex Agricultural & Techniccal Institude, an agricultural high school & college. This school is located right down the street from the Danvers State Hospital. An area noted for it's hauntings since it was closed.<br /> I still enjoy going back to the old neighborhood and looking for hauntings & sightings as time alows. (which isn't much). <br /> I'm always looking for people to talk "hauntings" with and taking people to the area I grew up in.

It is about to be town down over the next month! I see it everyday from my office window - and it is truly an absolute shame! If you are interested in seeing some stunning photography from the location -
