For the folks of 17th-century Salem, the word WITCH could mean a death sentence. Three centuries later, the city has become a safe haven for modern pagan communities. Recent estimates put the city's witch population around 5,000. But what does it mean to be a witch in Salem today? Join Sarah and Jeffrey for a chat with PJ Maguire, aka the Green Man of Salem. You've probably crossed paths with this well-known Salemite at Crow Haven Corner, the oldest witch shop in town.

Did you know there are more people accused of witchcraft in Andover than in Salem during the 1692 trials? Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they travel 18 miles from Salem to this northern Massachusetts town. To the home to Martha Carrier, the Queen of Hell. But what else made Andover a hot spot for accusations? Was it church politics? Smallpox outbreaks? Or perhaps bringing the afflicted girls through town to investigate?

On August 19th, 1692 Salem saw its third round of executions. Four men and one woman were hanged that day -- a group so sensational that Cotton Mather himself attended their last moments. He had to see the Queen of Hell for himself. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about Martha Carrier, the first person to be accused from Andover, a town that saw more accusations than any other.
