During the Great Age of Sail, Salem's harbor grew larger, and the world became smaller. Merchants traveled the globe and brought back with them various wonders from foreign lands. And one of the most prominent, Joseph Crowninshield, invested in something never before seen on his side of the Atlantic: an elephant. Join your favorite Salem tour guides as they share with you the true story of America's first Elephant.

While the infamous “shot heard round the world” may have been in Concord, Massachusetts on April 19, 1775, the first blood drawn and first retreat of English Regulars was actually here, in Salem. On February 26th, 1775 Col. Leslie of the 64th Regiment, along with nearly 300 soldiers were halted at the north river, unable to complete their mission, unable to find Salem's hidden guns. Join your favorite tour guides as they delve into this relatively obscure corner of Revolutionary War history.

This young woman's experience exists at the heart of the Salem Witch Trials. And while we will likely never know Tituba's true intentions or motivations, we do know that she confessed. In part 2, we will read HER words and see how the magistrates pushed her to tell a perfect tale. Join your favorite Salem tour guides as they discuss Tituba Indian's role in 1692, what we know of her fate, and how she's treated by history in the centuries to follow.

Enslaved woman. Confessed witch. A catalyst of the Salem Witch Trials. Tituba is perhaps one of the most well-known figures of 1692 Salem. She is also one whose story is often misconstrued and misunderstood. Let's talk about where she comes from, her likely origins, her time in Barbados, and her role in the lives of young Betty and Abigail. We'll conclude Tituba's story in two weeks!

**TW: In this episode we discuss sensitive topics such as slavery and racism.

In this episode we return to 1991 Salem. Tom Maimoni had confessed...but not to murder. His story of the "rogue wave" couldn't be proven otherwise - that is until Martha Brailsford's body was found. As we shall see, this was no accident. Well cover the day of her discovery, Tom's escape to Maine, the subsequent Jury Trial, and even how the Official Witch of Salem lends a hand to investigators.
