It's Halloween for you, Samhain for us, and that means we're gonna talk about the one thing you have to talk about at this time of year: Witches.

Join us this week for a dive into the wild times of the Salem Witch Trials. We'll talk about the background of the area, the history of the Puritans, and some of the potential causes that lead to the disastrous set of executions and imprisonments that plagued the area.

And tune in next week when we're joined by special guest: Sarah-Frankie Carter of Salem's Touring Tours for Tourists!

Dead, My Dearest's theme is "Haunted" by Ross Bugden, and he's available on Twitter (@rossbugden) and Instagram (rossbugden).
