Check it out for local events, local business support and really good info for new residents! (Pro tip if you&#8217;re planning on moving into Salem any time soon.)<\/p>\n<p>This blog post wouldn&#8217;t be complete without a mention of the Haunted Happenings <a href=\"https:\/\/hauntedhappenings.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hauntedhappenings.org\/guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">publication<\/a>.
