With the fervor of Halloween, everything fills up extremely quick on the North Shore. You are more than welcome to find accommodations in Salem, though they will be more limited and expensive. Gloucester is another beautiful town if you want a quieter area to stay.
That being said...Beverly is a small town between Salem and Gloucester, and is coincidentally where Nathan works at the Montserrat College of Art. Beverly boasts as interesting a history as its more popular neighbor Salem.
- It was home to numerous accusers and accused during the Witchcraft Hysteria of 1692.
The beautiful hiking and biking conservation area, Beverly Commons, is known by locals as The Witches Woods, as it served as a refuge for those fleeing persecution. Unsurprisingly the woods are also home to ghosts and haunted houses.
- Around the North Shore of MA in general you will notice a lot of roads and places called "Watch Hill", "Watch Lane", etc...they were originally called "Witch ______" but the names were changed in the last decades.
- Beverly was once known as the "Gold Coast." It was the playground for the opulently wealthy including many Presidents and titans of industry. Their mansions rivaled those of Newport, Rhode Island.
- The small California outcropping of Beverly Hills draws its name from Beverly, MA.
