Does anyone else wish "Maria's Island" was a real place?.. Well, IT IS...in a way. This week, let's explore the island locations that inspired the setting of Practical Magic.
The area code 02568 makes a little cameo in our beloved movie and it pointed us to VINEYARD HAVEN, MA! As always, we cover this island's geography, history, folklore, and magick.
We discover a real Maria's Island (Las Tres Maria's) off the coast of Mexico and cover Kristina's favorite thing, Maritime history as well as a few ghost stories.
WARNING: SPOILERS ABOUND!
