Topher,
You might give Ro Reinke a call at the Hobbit Bookstore in Athol, Mass.

| If going into Salem - Do stop in at the Crowhaven Corner store - That's
Laurie Cabot's store, and if you call ahead, you might even be able to
schedule a reading with her.....she tends only to do readings on the
weekends though.
There's also Pyramid Books which is a great place to browse in.
bright blessings,

| Topher, I recently picked up a book called Manitou by James W. Mavor,
Jr. & Byron E. Dix. It's an Archaeological/Native American book about
Sacred Sites in New England, of Native Americans and gives suggestions
and locations of areas that were used as worship sites by Natives
during colonial and precolonial times. Many that I didn't even suspect.
It's $18.95 and published by Inner Traditions of Rochester, VT. Lots of
interesting things in there. Mostly South Shore to Western Mass/So.
Vermont, but it may give you some ideas. Also talks about the Fault
line through the Athol area and some sites in Acton Mass.
BTW, I got my copy at The Hobbitt Doorway (owned and operated by Ro
Reinke) in Athol. She and Don do have many suggestions of places to
visit and I've been on a few field trips with them. (Always an amazing
and enjoyable adventure)

| Er, well, the witch trials were in Salem Village, not Salem Town.
Salem Village is now called Danvers.

| Check out the street the Captains lived on in Salem. I had an
interesting experience there years ago. Let me know if anything
happens. And the House of Records.
There are lots of homes that were part of the underground railway
in the greater Salem area. Make sure to spend some time just
walking around the old area and the peer.
Also, check out Lynn Woods where there are rock mounds, old
foundations, and old railroad tracks.
In Lynn there is Dungeon Hill/Rock where legend has it, there is
pirates treasure burried there.
Somewhere in Gloucester there is a inland town park where many
strange thing have supposed to happen. But I can't remember the name.
In Nahant, there is 40 Steps beach.

| Topher, here's a suggestion which might be of great interest to both of
you: a visit to the Shaker village at Canterbury, NH. The scenery is
beautiful, and there's a *lot* of "energy" in this place. And, nearby,
there's a little place where the fellow who owns it runs an antique
radio museum and a smoke house. The radio museum is the most
astonishing collection of antique radios I've ever seen, bar none
(admission free), and the smokehouse has some of the most delicious
smoked products you'll ever taste. The fellow who owns them is quite a
fascinating character. Worth the trip alone, even if you don't visit
the Shaker village. In fact, I would say that you should make more of a
point to visit the radio museum/smokehouse than the Shaker village,
whether you're looking for "conventional" amusement or psychic energy.

I've heard that there's interesting psychic energy in and around
the Mt. Monadnock area. Anyone else heard the same?

| 1936.9 | 40 Steps Beach | MKOTS3::CROTEAU | | Tue Apr 26 1994 14:18 | 12 |
| 40 Steps is a beautiful beach located in Nahant 40 Steps below the
street level. Stay on the main road you enter Nahant on and you
will pass right by it. It is unmarked and there is no parking
there, you can park away and walk or you can have someone stay in
the car. It is a small beach with some very very large rocks for
climbing on. Best to hit it at low tide and you can go out further.
There has been many reported murders, suicides, and accidents at
this location over the years. It is also near some bunkers that
were active in WWII. If you go to the end of the road, there is
a large house with a barrier around it that people said was once owned
(and still may be) by someone big in the mob.

| 1936.10 | Don't forget Marblehead | MR4DEC::LBERMAN | | Wed May 04 1994 12:08 | 29 |
| Regarding Salem, you are correct tp bypass the Witch Museum.
However, the museum is in an old section of town, and I would
recommend walking the neighborhoods around there...the streets
are narrow, doors open to the sidewalk...lots of ghosts in this
side of town (I went to college in Salem and my beau lived in
an old old house a few streets from the museum).
And yes, I would go down by the waterfront area, but remember
that the shopping area is all new!
If I have a day trip in mind for the North Shore, I head to
Marblehead (stay on rte 114 thru Salem, bear left at the college
and go straight). Lots of history...The Spirit of 1776 painting
hangs in the town hall. The Devereaux family was very big here,
hence Devereaux Beach (Devereaux was the commander of the first
navy 'way back then, and it is his son who is the youngest boy
in the Spirit of 1776 painting). Head down by the water, get out
and walk the narrow streets and feel the history. Lots of ghosts
in these neighborhoods, too. (I lived in M'head when I went to
college). And for contrast, you can drive over the water to M'head
Neck and ogle at the mansions. The view of the harbor from the
lighthouse is lovely.
If you feel even more ambitious, head up to Hammond Castle (as
in Hammond organs) and maybe call ahead to see if there is a
concert (they're free). Hammond Castle is in Gloucester.
have a good time!
