Gettysburg or Salem?

[FreddyMyers]

So my girlfriend and I are trying to get outta Jersey for Halloween. She wants to go to Gettysburg PA for a chance to see real supernatural stuff. I want to go to Salem Ma to party and parade n stuff. We havent decided on costumes or anything but my argument is that we can go to Gettysburg anytime as opposed to Salem being a once a year type of getaway. So what do you think? Which would be better? Is there a better place within reasonable distance?

Don't bother going to Gettysburg. I went there a couple of years ago on Halloween, and there were so many people there no self-respecting spirit would have bothered showing themselves. And they didn't.

I've been to Salem a few times, and I love it. Never around Hallowe'en, so I'm not sure if the influx of tourists would sap the charm (albeit a bit tourist-y anyway), but I would recommend there. Lots of stuff to do and see, and it has the coolest atmosphere.

I have, and it's a mob scene.

Umbra Asylum or bust.



Not to mention both places you posted aren't in the least bit haunted (if you believe such things)

crowded...pricey...the attractions were kind of lame.....but I had fun regardless

Exactly how I feel about Salem, on all parts.

Gonna go to Gettysburg. That is if i can get off of work. Otherwise my job will have more to scared of than ghosts or ghouls.
