And I’m attaching two headshots to choose from. All of the current headshots I have are…sea witchy and not witchy-witchy like they used to be. Let me know if these work. I can probably have a friend take some new ones with a darker vibe if need be.
Gallow’s Hill Theatre – Salem, Massachusetts
Gallows Hill Theatre, located in the heart of Salem, Massachusetts, is a unique attraction that blends immersive performance, historical storytelling, and paranormal exploration in a city known as the epicenter of witch trial history. Named for the infamous Gallows Hill—believed to be the site where 19 accused “witches” were executed in 1692—the theatre stands as a powerful tribute to Salem’s haunted legacy.
While the exact location of the original hangings has long been debated, the energy and memory of the witch trials permeate the land, and Gallows Hill Theatre captures that atmosphere with theatrical experiences that channel Salem’s dark past. The venue is home to dramatic reenactments, haunted tours, and one of the city’s most talked-about supernatural events: the After-Hours Ghost Hunt.
