Beverly, Massachusetts is often overshadowed by neighboring Salem, but its paranormal history is deeply intertwined with the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692. In fact, several accused witches lived in Beverly, and one of the most influential figures of the witch trials, Reverend John Hale, served as Beverly's minister. Its history is particularly fascinating in that its paranormal lore isn't based on dramatic executions or famous hauntings, but on its direct involvement in the Salem Witch Trials and the lingering stories of those accused, imprisoned, and forever linked to one of America's darkest episodes.
