Salem©, the pilot, is a paranormal series loosely based on true historic events that happened in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Written by Kay Duncan and Darryl Baldwin, the Salem© series deals with eccentric ghosts that inhabit Salem Manor, a historic building that houses Brass Balls Pawn™ shop owned by the larger than life man’s man, Skelly Skullthorpe. Skelly’s near death experience gifted him the ability to see and interact with the bloodless spirits. It has also unwittingly placed him in the position of guardian of the Salem Gateway to the underworld. A well-kept secret from the living, yet not so well-kept secret from the cadaverous, it is a portal located in the basement 1920’s “Giggle Water” Speakeasy of Salem Manor also known as the pawn Depot room. Ghosts attached to their earthly belongings brought into Brass Balls Pawn™ shop who are unwilling to let go of their earthly possessions seek Skelly’s ethereal guardianship and safe haven in present day Salem Manor rather than moving on to the underground. Skelly’s best friend is his ghost partner Ebert who thinks even in death he still owns the pawn business despite being shot in the same pawn business years earlier. Ebert manages to do a tidy job of helping Skelly manage the chaos, trouble and just plain frustrations of daily living with the deceased who refuse to be dead and all of their strange eclectic possessions. Getting little sleep and a tremendous amount of grief is just the beginning of Skelly’s trials in managing the different issues of the unburied spirits, their diverse belongings and their total lack of desire to move on from Salem Manor.
"It was well known in the underworld of the dead if you were entering Salem Manor you best have some of your own brass balls, because the walking dead were never at peace and Salem Manor was their playground. The fact that Salem Manor was named after an 1881 Hebrew word meaning peace was quite contradictory, as nothing about Salem Manor was peaceful. Granted the current owner Skelly Skullthorpe was a peacekeeper of sorts and had an uncanny ability to let you know when you were welcome to enter and definitely leaving even if not by your own free will. That being said, Salem Manor could not be characterized as free from a variety of commotion, violence or just plain disorder. The only law at Salem Manor was the larger than life man's man Skelly Skullthorpe who owned Salem Manor and the business Brass Balls Pawn™ housed inside Salem Manor and none of the resident ghosts wanted to piss him off and reap his final rule."
