Send us a text

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.......Step back in time with us to 1692, a period of mass hysteria and false accusations that led to the infamous Salem Witch Trials. We're guiding you through a chilling narrative of a community gripped by fear, a community that condemned 30 people to death on charges of witchcraft. This dark chapter in history is sure to leave you with goosebumps.

We'll introduce you to the three women whose tales sparked this frenzy - Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Titchibar. Learn about their lives, their pleas of innocence, and the tragic end they met. Hear about others like them - Rebecca Nurse, George Burroughs, and Giles Corey - who were falsely accused and faced the gallows. Do you think you know the details of this grim chapter in history? Think again, as we bring to light the horrifying stories of eight individuals executed on September 22nd, 1692, and the chilling tale of Giles Corey who died under torture.

Then, stepping into the innocence lost, meet Dorothy Good, a four-year-old child, the youngest of those involved in the trials, kept behind bars for nine months without formal charges. All this culminated in the reversal of many of the witchcraft convictions by the Massachusetts colonial government in 1711, admitting the grave injustices of the Salem Witch Trials. So, wrap up in your favorite blanket, grab a hot drink, and brace yourself for an eerie journey into the past.

John and Rebecca discuss all things haunted, paranormal, strange history, mysterious and true crime.
