It’s Halloween week y’all! So we thought we’d celebrate our final week of spooky true crime with the infamous Salem Witch Trials! Way back in 1692, a group of young girls claimed to be possessed by the Devil and accused other local women of being actual witches who loved to torture them. This led to mass hysteria in the community, and resulted in the death of 20 people, and the torture of hundreds more... So was it real? Or was it all just hocus pocus?

Who’s ready for another spooky true crime story? This week, we travel deep into the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana to tell the horrific story of the mad Madame LaLaurie and the haunted LaLaurie mansion!
