This episode begins with the Curious Explorers catching up and sharing some eerie Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs) that were captured while recording some of Kathy & Traci’s spookiest episodes.
The heart of this episode, however, is the story of Bridget Bishop, the first woman executed during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. The Curious Explorers discuss the climate of fear, hysteria, and social control that led to the unjust arrest and execution of Bridget Bishop and numerous others during this dark period in history.
