124. Witch Trials: Martha Carrier

Tuesday, September 10, 2024 • Duration 01:34:36

On August 19th, 1692 Salem saw its third round of executions. Four men and one woman were hanged that day -- a group so sensational that Cotton Mather himself attended their last moments. He had to see the Queen of Hell for himself. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about Martha Carrier, the first person to be accused from Andover, a town that saw more accusations than any other.

24. Field Trip to Danvers

Tuesday, August 2, 2022 • Duration 01:13

Just a few miles inland from modern Witch City sits Danvers, Massachusetts – or what once was Salem Village. Danvers can sometimes be overlooked within the scope of the Salem Witch Trials, but in reality, this is where it all began. Sarah and Jeffrey left the familiarity of their Salem streets and ventured to Danvers to see those the historic sites. From the old foundations of Reverend Parris's home to the actual house of witch trial victim Rebecca Nurse, join us as we wander in the footsteps of both accuser and accused.
