October is the spookiest month of the year and there’s no better way to celebrate the spirit of the season than attending Paraween in Salem!

This paranormal festival is sure to send shivers down your spine in a good way. Even if you’re not a believer in goblins, ghouls and UFOs, it’s worth stopping by for a look at the crazy costumes and some old-fashioned festival fun.

If listening to the speakers isn’t your thing, have a wander around the vendor area to snap up some specialty UFO gear and other mystical goods. Free photo opportunities abound and cosplay is encouraged. Adults should plan on stopping by the Paranormal Afterparty for a scary good time.
