The Witch House - Historical 1665 - Salem, MA

The Witch House is the second piece in the Ghostly Estates Collection, new for 2025.  This reproduction of the Witch House, located in Salem, MA, features detailed Halloween themed window scenes.

Can be lighted by using two (2) battery operated tea lights inserted at the bottom of the base. This allows you to light the house without having to worry about wires or strings of lights.  In addition to the tea light option, The Witch House can also use the standard miniature or fairy light strings, in either the back or bottom of the house.

The Witch House makes for the perfect Halloween decoration or gift, and can be lighted.

As with all of Time Passages houses, this house is handmade, signed, and only a limited quantity is made each year.

Historical Background of The Witch House:

The Witch House, home of Judge Jonathan Corwin, who purchased the home in 1675, lived there for more than forty years, then remained in the Corwin family until the mid 1800's.  It is one of the only structures still standing in Salem with direct ties to the Witchcraft Trials of 1692.

As a local magistrate and civic leader, Corwin was called upon to investigate the claims of diabolical activity when a surge of witchcraft accusations around in Salem and neighboring communities came about.  He served on the Court of Oyer and Terminer, which ultimately sent nineteen to the gallows.  All nineteen refused to admit to witchcraft and maintained their innocence.  Throughout the years, all have been exonerated.

In 1693 after many wrongful executions, the Salem Witch Trials officially ended.  The community later admitted that the trials had been a terrible mistake.  Over the years, the Massachusetts colony tried to make up for the events by clearing the names of the accused and paying money to their families.
