A two-story wooden house with lit windows stands under a dark sky. Swirling orange light trails wrap around, adding a Bewitched at Balch effect. Warm glows from inside hint at immersive dark history, as a large tree looms nearby.

About this Event

Step into one of Beverly’s oldest homes for an evening of eerie tales and mysterious history. The 17th-century Balch House sets the stage for stories of witches, counter-magic, and the supernatural beliefs that shaped early New England. From whispered charms to ward off evil to the dark shadow of witchcraft trials, discover how our ancestors lived in a world filled with both fear and faith.
This immersive program combines local lore, true accounts from the era, and the unique atmosphere of the Balch House to transport you back to a time when the line between the natural and the supernatural was thin. Perfect for history lovers, the curious, and those who enjoy a good spine-tingling tale.
