During the first week of October the Salem Museum held their annual Ghost Walk Event! During the Ghost Walk, guests are taken on a tour through the cemetery across the street and get to meet the ghosts of important people in Salem’s history. During this years Ghost Walk, I was able to lead one tour and also work a hands on history table inside the museum that had objects relating to the ghosts. Leading the tour went well and it was a lot of fun getting to experience the Ghost Walk for myself as well! The hands on table is what I did for most of the weekend and it gave guests and opportunity to learn some history about the ghosts before going on the tour. Each item was pulled from the museums collection and was able to relate back to one of the ghosts and their story of Salem. Guests were allowed to touch and hold small objects while wearing gloves while I explained the significance of the object to them. It was a lot of fun and I also got to learn a lot about Salem from this experience!
