Salem, Massachusetts at 2AM - Late Night Walk Witch City - 4K Binaural

Salem, Massachusetts, at two in the morning, a few days before Halloween. The Witch City sells its October hard, but at 2 AM the sales floor is closed — the streets and alleys are empty, and what's left is the older thing underneath: a New England town with a lot of history, keeping it to itself in the dark. This is mostly a pleasant, unhurried night walk; the spook shows up only occasionally, the way it should, at the edge of a lamplit lane or the mouth of an alley you don't take. Binaural 3D sound holds the town in place around you in the dark. A confession from the field notes: this one meant being out all night, and it had to be filmed twice. Some walks cost more than others. Salem at 2 AM, days before Halloween, was worth paying for twice. For sleep, if you can manage it.

Best with headphones — the audio is true binaural. Watch on YouTube (recommended on TV).
