Okay, but she wasn't actually accused of witchcraft, nor did she really accuse anyone of witchcraft. Was Elizabeth Knapp afflicted like Betty Paris and Abigail Williams? Absolutely. But why didn't her strange behavior lead to a witch hunt like the Puritan's would see in Salem twenty years later. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about the so-called Groton “witch.”

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!
