When we talk about the Salem Witch Trials, we usually focus on the victims or the afflicted girls. But what about the JUDGES? So let's start our Judge Series at the top, with the Lieutenant Governor himself: William Stoughton. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they hash out the workings of Chief Justice Stoughton, how he landed the job, where he came from, and if he was as bad as we all think!

Let's wander deeper into the halls of Danvers State Hospital with part two of our three-part series. Things get a bit darker this week as the history takes a turn for the worse with lobotomies, electroshock therapy, and a distinct lack of funds. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, for a chat about how the facility took a turn for the worse. But was Danvers State really as bad as we thought it to be?
We also have a special little chat for you about an upcoming Broadway Play about Salem! Curious? So were we. Special thanks to Valentine and Caroline for your insight!

It’s 2024 and WE ARE BACK! Buckle up friends because we're heading just outside of modern-day Salem and over to Danvers (old Salem Village).

Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, for a chat about the land, the hospital, and its beautiful beginnings. Next week, we descend into madness!

‘Tis the season! Or so we say... A season for celebrations and traditions, some of which date back thousands of years. Whether it's Christmas, Saturnalia, or Yule, all have ties to the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year and a sign of the sun's return. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about Nordic gods, festivals of lights, Queen Victoria, and of course, the Puritans.

Let's jump back into the Putnam Problem. After discussing the differences between Salem Village and Salem Town, both religious and social, and some of the Putnam ancestry, now we get to talk about their direct involvement in the trials. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite tour guides, as they talk about Thomas and his 120 court documents; Ann and her own afflictions; and of course Ann Jr., who makes more accusations of witchcraft than anyone else.
