We are LIVE! Or we were... last week! Our third LIVE show kicked off at Hallowed Ground in Salem where we talked about death. Specifically, how the Puritans experienced and viewed the "debt that all men pay."  Join us for our dive into strange post-mortem colonial rituals and learn what the word "de-skeletonization" means!

A big thank you to Hallowed Ground for hosting! You can catch a splendid interview with Bar Manager, Sean Powers at the beginning of the episode.

In part one we covered Susannah Martin's life leading up to the Witch Trials. Now, let's take a close look at the evidence brought up against her and the legacy she left behind. We've got so much to cover here... her apparent distain towards cattle, the sheer number of witnesses, nightly visits, and a whole lot of puppies. Buckle up for some of the most outrageous testimonies we've covered!

It's been a while since we talked about one of the innocent victims of the Salem Witch Trials, so let's get back to it, with Susannah Martin, part one. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guide as they walk the life of the 71 year old widow from Amsbury. Lets chat about her accusations of a witch nearly two decades before 1962, how her step-mother was the primary receivership of her fathers will and was having so many kids really a good thing?

Did we mention the best depiction of the Salem Witch Trials in a visual media we've ever seen? Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they review this gem of an interpretation!

Yes, you read that right! Let's take a deep dive to the Titanic. This week Jeffrey and Sarah were joined by special guest L.A. Beadles, host of Unsinkable, the Titanic Podcast. Both our subjects sit at the crossroads of dark history and collective tragedy. But the real question you're probably wondering is, "how on earth could Salem and the Titanic be linked?!

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. But why didn't her strange behavior lead to a witch hunt like the Puritan's would see in Salem twenty years later. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about the so-called Groton “witch.”
