May 31, 202215. Witch Trials: Familiars
What's a familiar may you ask? Black cats? Toads? Humans-faced yellow birds? Perhaps all of the above and more! Join local Salem tour guides Jeffrey and Sarah as they talk all-things familiar. These creatures are peppered throughout the narrative of the Salem Witch Trials and their spectral presence alone could be used as proof of supernatural malevolence.

April 26, 2022 10. The Salem ”Catacombs”
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.
