15. 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.
