Perhaps the most unique experience in the city! OUR REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!The neutral ground where the Left and Right hand paths meet. Specializing in blending post & modern, providing unique alternatives for your decor & tools. Eclectic Vendibles & Curious Curios.Jewelry made of Sterling Silver, Bead, Gem & Glass. Art, Crystal, Home Decor, Occult, Psychic Services, Catholic icons & More!The largest collection of HAND MINED crystals & carvings available in town.We have Psychic services in store & via phone. TAROT is our specialty along side Angel Readings, Palmistry, Mediumship & Pendulum Work.Our psychics are screened by the Salem Police & licensed by the City of Salem.We DON'T give you an expensive bag & frilly packaging charging you $5.00 for a .99 cent item.....We DO however give you the same item at up to 50% less.Enjoy.BillA brief history:Established in 1996Bewitched in Salem is the natural progression of my love of Antiques, Occult & Crystals.Growing up in Salem with the momentum of the New Age movement in the 80's I resented being "taken" by vendors with pricing 3 or 4 times the normal retail markup. This led to our store's NO pressure sales, No up sell tactics & overall lower in store pricing.My love of Quartz crystals brought me to the great land of Ghengis Khan. The quartz crystals and skulls that we sell are not your typical blast mined crystals from Brazil. They are Hand Mined in Mongolia not blast mined. They are then carved by 7th & 8th generation stone workers.In 2008 the demand for our Psychic services became greater than I could handle by myself. I have now brought on board an old student and friend of 20 years to take the reins. Ask anyone on the pedestrian walkway where to go for a reading and most will say Bewitched in Salem. I thank All of you, friend and foe for making us what we are today!

Owner description:
This tribute museum is dedicated to all those who have entertained us in the world of Horror! Actors, directors and special effects wizards of the past and present are all honored here with nearly fifty life-sized realistic recreations of the horror's genre's most memorable characters. Safe for all.

See you soon!!!

Owner description:
Phillips House is the only home on historic Chestnut Street open to the public, and it provides a glimpse into the private world of the Phillips family during the early decades of the twentieth century. The kitchen, pantry, and a domestic staff bedroom, present a rarely seen picture of how the great houses functioned as new technologies were being introduced.
