We took a deep dive into the Salem Witch Trials in our last two episodes. We looked at not just what happened but how and why. This story is not done yet, my spooky friends.

These stains manifest themselves as the spirits of those who were falsely accused, and in some cases - as the spirits of those who did actions that resulted in death.

So step away from your caldron, my spooky friends. Today, we are returning to Salem to look at the spirits who never left after the witch trials ended.

During the witch trials; everyone in Salem lived in fear, but some used this fear for their own advantage. After all, if a person accused another of being a witch, and the accused was convicted - that person would be rewarded with the accused property.

Life in the American state of Massachusetts during the 1600s was filled with challenges, hardships, and for some - opportunity. Seeking religious freedom, many Puritans travelled over rough waters to create a new life in a little town outside Boston called Salem.
