In 1692, Salem lost its mind. You just lost everything.Step into the mud-soaked streets of colonial Massachusetts, where suspicion spreads faster than the pox and a single glare can get you executed. This is not a story about magic — it’s about fear. About a courtroom where dreams count as evidence. About neighbors who watch each other just a little too closely. About what happens when guilt is decided by consensus and survival is a coin toss with God.In this immersive, slow-burning sleep documentary, you'll experience the Salem Witch Trials not as a historian, but as a target. So lie down. Get comfortable. And let the injustice lull you to sleep.
