“Cinema Salem’s Pig Lady”
Slice of the Paranormal has a Hog Wild week ahead, so to keep with this weeks theme we are going to discuss a Pig Haunting! Cinema Salem is Haunted by a spectral pig of Alice Parker.
According to Assistant Manager Peter Horne, said multiple coworkers have had experiences at the site. A former manager saw a man in black sitting in theatre no. 3. , he ran to kick the man out to only have him disappear. The man was wearing coattails from the Victorian era. A man’s face has been seen in the projectionists window. People have been pushed by an unseen force. The theatre stands on the site of Samuel Beadles Tavern in 1692. The site where John Westgate claimed he was attacked by a spectral hog sent by the witch Alice Parker. The spectral pig had a pigs body but the head of Alice Parker. Alice was ultimately hung on gallows hill as a witch under this spectral evidence. Be sure to check out the Salem Witches Memorial and visit Alice’s tribute rock.
