The Real Salem - Road to the Trials (Part 1)
Manage episode 415553208 series 3565090
Ever want to visit the real Salem?
Join Noodles and I as we visit the location responsible for the start of the infamous witch trials.
----
A small shop is filled to the brim with sage, tarot cards and spell books.
Thick incense obscures eager shoppers and visiting tourists.
In the bustle, a small book captures your attention
“The Witches - Salem, 1692”
The story contained within its pages begins NOT in the bustling modern town of Salem with its shops and attractions, but miles inland in the small house of a pastor.
The first accusations of witchcraft are made inside its walls, stoking the fire of communal hysteria, religious zealotry and and ultimately the conviction and execution of 20 individuals.
We visit the dark stone foundation far from the attractions of Salem.
