I would've thought that the witchcraft scare in Salem was due to ergot poisoning....but I could be wrong.

I've been to Salem. They have this brewhouse where they make all the ale on the premesis (Sp?) and one of them is called Hawthorne's Honey Ale....mmmmmm...and another is Pumpkin Brew.

Best time to go there, though, is anytime BUT October. (Talk about a madhouse!)
