I remember watching Salem's Lot on T.v. when I was about 11 or 12 and it scared the living bejesus out of me when the Vampire boy appeared at the window!
Didn't some massacre or Witch-hunt happen there once?

Yup. Back in the late 1600s, there was a nasty combination of religious hysteria and just plain corruption that caused many people to lose all their possessions and property if not their lives. Want your neighbor's farm? Call "Witch", and it's yours! When people of "higher standing" started being accused of Witchcraft, the stupidity was put to a quick end. Luckily it was short lived, and not as wide spread as the evils in Europe.
