28. Salem History: The Salem Willows30 Aug 202201:23:47

Who doesn't like “a trip to the seaside” to "take in the air"? Well that's exactly why one of Salem's hidden gems was created. Join local tour guides Sarah & Jeffrey as they chat all about Salem Willows Park. Things may have changed over the past 220 years, but we still have those same European white willow trees, there's still a boardwalk filled with restaurants and entertainment, and you can still dip your feet in the ocean.

Join Salem tour guides Jeffrey and Sarah as they piece together this strange story of how a Harvard-educated man, living on the Maine frontier, became the only minister found guilty for witchcraft.

24. Field Trip to Danvers02 Aug 202200:01:13

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.

10. The Salem ”Catacombs”26 Apr 202201:03:45

Did someone say secret tunnels? Long has it been rumored that there are miles upon miles of underground passageways weaving beneath the oldest streets of Witch City. Some say they were used for smuggling, some say for drugs--and if all rumors are to be believed--they were even used to hide the dead. Join local tour guides Jeffrey and Sarah as they get to the bottom of this story, as history and hard evidence is oftentimes not as romantic as local lore.

105. Witch Trials: Dropping 1692 Into History10 Apr 202400:53:38

We are often wrapped in the cloak of Salem, its history, its architecture, its vibe. But 1962 stands as the consummate marker of our history. But what else was going in the world at that time? What names might the puritans in Salem have heard? So join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides as they talk 1692. Do you think Increase Mather ever saw a Shakespeare play? Did the judges have discussions about Isaac Newton and theories of gravity or planetary motion? Did Betty Paras ever meet someone who signed the Declaration of Independence? It's all possible. And oh how fun it is to speculate!

Okay, but she wasn't actually accused of witchcraft, nor did she really accuse anyone of witchcraft. Was Elizabeth Knapp afflicted like Betty Paris and Abigail Williams? Absolutely.
