Salem The Podcast

When it comes to the Salem Witch Trials, no one was safe from accusations... even the richest people in town! A resident of Salem for more than twenty years, Philip English was still very much an outsider in their eyes. He was an immigrant, a merchant, an Anglican, and by 1692, this native French speaker was dripping in wealth and opulence. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they discuss who the Englishes were, how Mary scoffed at her arrest, how Phillip ran from Salem, and where they fled to escape the hangman's noose.

Last week we chatted about the historic Ropes Mansion...but there's more to share! In part 2 we'll share some ghost stories, talk about the gardens, and highlight fun details from when we visited the property! Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they keep exploring the Ropes Mansion. Listen closely to learn about ghostly fires, a Hocus Pocus easter egg, and what inspired Sarah's new spoon obsession!

The beautiful Ropes Mansion is one of the most famous buildings in Salem, likely because it was used as the exterior of Allison's House in Hocus Pocus. But don't be fooled by Hollywood, it easily stands on its own with its beautiful Georgian Colonial architecture and iconic white fence. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they chat about this wonderful historic house. Let's get into who built it, exactly how many Nathanial’s lived there (loyalist or otherwise), and why it went from the home of three elderly sisters to the museum it is today, and maybe try to figure out exactly how many people died inside.

In 1692, Salem Village (now modern day Danvers), was ground zero for what was to become the Salem Witch Trials. We have covered many locations in Danvers, but have yet to talk about Ingersoll's Ordinary, so let's change that. Learn who Nathaniel Ingersoll was and why his Ordinary was and still is important! We also chat which of the accused were held and questioned there, who's specters were seen, and of course, try to figure out what an Ordinary even is!

Somehow, someway, this magical treasure has flown under our radars...until now! Back in 1987, the world was blessed with a “Monty Python-esque” surreal comedy about the Salem Witch Trials. Well, sort of. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they watch and review this absolute gem. You want slap-stick? Edible chastity belts? Erotic baked goods? Adultery? Political intrigue? Magic? Flogging? Songs about… cats? You’re in for a wild broomstick ride.

Now, let's take a close look at the evidence brought up against her and the legacy she left behind. We've got so much to cover here... her apparent distain towards cattle, the sheer number of witnesses, nightly visits, and a whole lot of puppies. Buckle up for some of the most outrageous testimonies we've covered!

Have you been to the Black Veil Shoppe of Drear and Wonder? Perhaps you've been lucky enough to get tattooed by its famous proprietors? Either way, you probably know of Salem's favorite and most elusive identical twins: Ryan and Matthew Murray.
