EP04 Salem Massachusetts and the witch and shark slander

In this episode, Lacey takes a slightly unhinged stroll through the Salem witch trials, where a handful of bored Puritan teens and some truly chaotic adults managed to derail an entire town. She breaks down the panic, the politics, and the pure “what were they thinking?” energy that fueled one of history’s bleakest crowd-control failures. After that, she shifts gears and heads to modern-day Salem for a cozy solo getaway filled with good food, historic stops, and the kind of peaceful wandering that pairs well with a side of morbid curiosity. It’s dark history with a wink, plus a soft, comfy look at Salem today. Research Rabbit holes we fell down... Salem Witch Trials of 1692: Landmarks, Events & More — https://www.salem.org/salem-witch-trials/ A Brief History of the Salem Witch Trials — https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/a-brief-history-of-the-salem-witch-trials-175162489/Thank you for supporting our podcast!
