Tonight, my returning guest is author Rebecca F. Pittman, here to uncover the chilling history and lingering hauntings of one of the most infamous events in early American history — the Salem Witch Trials.

In 1692, the quiet village of Salem, Massachusetts, erupted in chaos as accusations of witchcraft spread like wildfire. Neighbors turned against one another, and within months, nineteen people were hanged, one man was crushed to death, and several others died in prison. What began with the “crying out” of a few young girls spiraled into one of the darkest chapters of collective hysteria the world has ever seen.

Rebecca’s book, The History and Haunting of Salem, explores not only the historical truth behind these events but also the paranormal energy that still lingers over Salem today. She shares exclusive interviews with leading historians and researchers, never-before-seen photos of Proctor’s Ledge—the actual site of the hangings—and explores how the town continues to wrestle with its haunted past.

From historical tragedy to modern-day tourism and pop culture nods like Hocus Pocus, this episode examines how Salem remains both a warning and a wonder—a place where history and the supernatural collide.
