SALEM UNMASKED: THE WITCH HOUSE

I’m
standing in front of an old place in Salem, Massachusetts, called the “Witch
House.”
I didn’t mean to. I didn’t intend on doing anything more than swiftly passing through Salem on the way back from Maine and New Hampshire.
Our
daughter wanted to see it, and we only wanted to gather a glimpse from
the car, since I’d never seen the infamous place, which has such spiritual
implications.
We found ourselves pulling over due to the historic-spiritual magnetism of it (parking on Essex Street in front of a Protestant church next door to the house), and when I saw that it had been the home of a judge in the notorious witchcraft trials — not a place where the occult had been practiced — I decided to enter and take a closer look — seeing that, despite its name, it wasn’t a grave, site of execution, or place in which witches lived.
It’s hazardous to tarry with locales connected with any sort of the paranormal — let alone satanism or witchcraft. Exorcists tell us that “haunted” places can lead to spirits twisting thought processes, influencing the emotions, causing physical distress, or even attaching to those who brush against it, such that you bring them (or their residue) back with you, at least until a cleansing by the Holy Spirit.
Not good: Spiritual contamination. Here’s where direct communication with the Lord (and His Precious Blood) comes in. (“Wash us always, Lord Jesus. We plead Your Blood!”) The same grit emanates from locales where deviant sex is practiced (such as Provincetown, Massachusetts on Cape Cod, the French Quarter in New Orleans, downtown San Francisco, or Manhattan’s Greenwich Village).
But this house in Salem, which was built in the 1600s, was not — we assumed — where rituals had been conducted, and when I asked the woman at the front desk (it’s owned by the city and open to the public) whether the large rather spooky black-matte building was “haunted,” without hesitation and perhaps even the hint of scoff she replied quickly that it was not.
No problem — or so I thought.
Boy was I caught by surprise.
It turns out that there are any number of largely unknown sides to this place. And that’s what this new “special report” is about: the “untold stories” of Salem.
