  • 119. Witch Trials: Mary & Philip English
    Jul 16 2024

    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.

  • 116. Ingersoll's Tavern
    Jun 25 2024

    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!

    Jun 11 2024

    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.

Political intrigue? Magic? Flogging? Songs about… cats? You’re in for a wild broomstick ride.

    A big thank you to Hallowed Ground for hosting! You can catch a splendid interview with Bar Manager, Sean Powers at the beginning of the episode.
