Hello .. my name is Stephanie and I live in Houston Texas. Susannah Martin is my fifth great grandmother. I was blown away when you showed her gravesite and I teared up as well. Thank you for being there and sharing ❤️ I was born July 1962 and she was hanged July 1692 🥲

If you ever get a chance to come to the uk, Scotland and England’s witch trials were beyond nuts, 19 were executed in Salem, over 1500 in the Scotland trials. Crazy.

I love that they paint the sidewalks to tell you where the sights are.

I lived near where the Pendle Witch trials took place. Very scary to think how with just one accusation you're dead.

My husband just found out recently after an ancestry search that Susannah Martin is his 6th great grandmother on his mothers side. She is one of the 19 names memorialized on proctors ledge.

I live 20 minutes from salem and my grandmother is friends with Lori Cabot and a psychic that works in salem. I also got the privilege to meet Lori Cabot when I was pregnant with my first daughter and she came up to me and she put her hand my belly and blessed my daughter and said "she will be a amazing child." No one knew at the time what I was having.

I have studied the witch trails for years. As a historian, it's important to teach my girls about this time and place. I learned a lot myself because, of course, even as a historian, there's always something new to learn. Thank you for pointing out that there's no memorial for Mr. Giles Cory, who was pressed. It's important for all of these innocent victims to the hysteria be acknowledged. God rest their souls. 😢

This is such a sad historical event.We had things like this too in the U.K. as well ,but witches were burnt or drowned .Very disgusting treatment.Most were innocent people and they lost their lives because someone had a grudge,disliked them,jealousy etc.So many lives lost and sometimes whole families.The worse part the wise women who knew about herbs and acted as midwives were amongst these.So villages and towns lost all that help .These women were so skilled and had been taught from Mother to Daughter for generations.This is when doctors only cure was bloodletting and leeches..So because of loosing women like this others suffered for it too.So sad.I am glad they remember all those who died because they were normal people.It’s sad how witches get labelled with a bad name.Mose are just in tune with the earth and Spirit and are loving caring people .You may even have one living next door.You would never know.The Bad ones(Black witches) ..Mess with things they should not and will live to regret it.These paint a bad picture for all witches .Brilliant video once again and very informative.I did not know that one had been crushed.That must have been awful for him and no doubt drawn out too..Glad I found your Chanel..Love n Light 🥰

Watching this it makes me realise just how young a country America is. One of our local pubs opened 1622 and is still running. Kings head in Chester. We just walk past it without a thought and buildings that are hundreds of years old. I really must record some of these places more in depth rather than quickly in passing. Even the roman amphitheatre and gardens we walk by without a thought although they are 1000 years old. Great video as always guys, nice to see you reporting on this and great to see the US preserving history rather than bulldozing it like we do too much.

I am a witch and I made the trip to Salem several years ago. I always wanted to go there to pay homage to the people who were killed (targeted) for being different or for merely being easy targets. I got so much just by standing at the foot of Gallows Hill and going to the witches jail than anything else in Salem. If you go there to tour the area, avoid the big Witch Museum. It's a rip off. Also, I stayed at Best Western Plus - North Shore Hotel in Danvers and saved a lot of money by doing so. The tradeoff is the traffic you have to deal with between the hotel and Salem. Also try to find the time for a ghost tour; pretty cool.

Giles Corey’s story gave me the chills after you started playing the music lol. These stories are very interesting and I love it

I like how Jessica is placed somewhere in many of the shots, in the distance, with little movement from her and appears almost ghostly. Like an apparition. Nice touch! I like it! Just recently discovered this Toober and now I'm subscribed! I'm hooked!

Ugh this area looks sooo beautiful 😻♥️♥️

Going to Salem for a wedding in October 2022 and these suggestions are great! Can’t wait and thanks! 🖤

Great video!!! 💜🖤 Love how Michael always takes a minute out of his time to tell Jessica he loves her!!!

Humans can be so cruel to one another, and no one rises over anything, when your gone that's it.

My aunt was a medium - she would move a ouija board without touching it , she read tea leaves & tried out coffins. many saw her as creepy & strange but she loved everyone & would do anything for anyone. It is horrible to think that this woman would have been tortured & put to death for being evil because she was “Different” she wouldn’t hurt anyone… sadly we haven’t “evolved” much since then either. Hatred over color, religion, etc is rampant & innocent lives are taking by the ugliness of prejudice 😞… thank you so much for sharing!

This just came through my feed! What great content! Hope you guys visit Salem again soon. Btw~ Rebecca (Towne) Nurse, Elizabeth (Towne) Howe, and Mary (Towne) Eastey were sisters and my 9th great-grandaunts. Their brother Joseph was my 9th great-grandfather. Fortunately their parents were no longer alive to see three of four daughters falsely accused and executed. Rebecca was a 71 yr old grandmother with 9 children.

That Bewitched statue was recently vandalized. Someone threw red paint all over it. It was so cool to see you guys in my hometown. Huge fan 👍

Me and a friend did a trip to Salem in 2019. Funny thing is we were unaware of the shrine they built at Proctor's Ledge. We came up the hill from behind the Walgreens and actually explored the hanging spot. When you get away from the kitsch of Salem and actually stand on the spot where those poor innocent people were hanged for no good reason it's sobering. So glad you guys tapped into that feeling at the end. Amazing place. We also hit the Rebecca Nurse farm where there's another shrine in the graveyard. One of the victims has a grave there as well. Legend states that the bodies were cut down and tossed in a niche on Proctor's Ledge but that the families of some snuck in and recovered them and buried them privately. Witches were not allowed propper graves.

1692 was a busy year...especially through July-September. That's absolutely heartbreaking. I've always enjoyed researching this topic. Giles Corey, I cannot imagine that death. He refused to say...not guilty. You've gotta respect the man for that strong will. That witch was hilarious though and I loved her makeup! What a character. I AM A 🪄🧹 WITCH.

This video has a special place in my heart when it comes to Wicca not to mention all the history behind not only Salem but the other countries as well....

I've watched many documentaries about the witch trials in both Salem and in the UK. It was clearly one of the most heartbreaking and shameful acts in our human history. So many people died because of believing in irrational superstition and prejudice. The Witch trials are more than just a real life horror story, but also an example of what people can be like when they are at their worst. I visited Salem two times and it truly is a beautiful place. Love your video by the way!

You 2 are just the most perfect soul mates 💗💗💗 thank you for all the great content, you never disappoint 🙂🙂🙂 much love to you both from the UK 🇬🇧

I couldn’t click on this video fast enough. I used to live in Salem, and get there 2x a year with my kids. The Peabody Essex Museum is world class, and I love browsing the Pagan gift stores. The Hawthorne Hotel is the best place to stay and is known for ghosts.

This history deeply upsets me and needs to be told, not only am I biracial but wiccan as well, there are mediums in my family. Telling of history is not just interesting and educational, but its a reminder of the past and what not to repeat in the future and respecting the victims of this time

Hi my name is Ellen and i live in Erie ,Pa. Mary Parker is my fifth great grand mother. Thank-you so much for the awesome tour. Your empathy for the people is very much appreciated.

Fun fact: the green associated with witch actually came from Wizard of Oz because they thought green looks good onscreen. Before that, red or orange were the common colors for witches.

I’ve taught The Crucible and historical background info on Salem to my high school students for years. Interestingly, the reason you see the victims hung approx a month apart is bc judges made the rounds back then only 1x per month. As you pointed out, Judge Hathorne is buried in Salem. His ancestor, writer Nathaniel Hawthorne, was so ashamed of his past that he changed the spelling of his name. Thanks, Guys. Great job as always. ❤️👏🏻

A good book about the trials and the environment they occurred in is “The Witches” by Stacy Schiff. It is well researched and explores what was behind the trials in the context of the time they occurred.

Brilliant video here in the UK we have the famous Pendle hill Witch trails if you type in in Pendle witch trials it all comes up and the the court documents too but thank you for sharing this Annmarie UK

I always thought the accused witches were burned to death. This is new. So sad that people were so ignorant about people. Maybe they just wanted their land. Thanks for this video. Wish I was there.

That intro music is pretty amazing. I’m a vocalist and I found myself harmonizing along.🖤 I hope to visit Salem one day. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes from Kansas 🌻

This is my favorite video of yours. The emotions of it, really got to me.

I've walked around Salem 3 different times, but never knew about the "red line" until this video...huh. That would have made my visits easier. But we had the privilege of being some of the first, randomly, to visit proctor's ledge after it's dedication a few years ago. Very nice memorial

Your intro is so badass it sounds so official. Sounds like it should be on a TV show or something.

The Salem Witch Trials were the only thing that kept my attention in school. Thank you for your travels and informative videos.

The Salem Witch Trials, to me, still is one of the most disturbing historic occurrences. Great video, enjoyed it.

Awesome! You guys were in my area! I am decsended from John Proctor who was hung during the trials. He was my 8 times great grandfather 😀

I think the last quote on the floor is “ I can deny it to my dying day. I am no witch”

Pressed to death is a story in its self. Samuel Sewall's diary states, under date of Monday, September 19, 1692: About noon at Salem, Giles Cory was pressed to death for standing mute; much pains was used with him two days, one after another, by the court and Captain Gardner of Nantucket who had been of his acquaintance, but all in vain.. however he did say more weight and he never confessed . They needed to get a confession no matter what I have ancestors who died at that trial

Another brilliant vlog 👍🤘 would love to go to Salem, although I can't help thinking about the kid floating at the window every time I hear the word Salem 😂❤️

The hysteria emanating from witch trials turns people from human to beast. Group hysteria nearly always leads to irrational conclusions. So the people of Salem who were executed simply were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They were truly martyrs. They deserve all our respect. Thanks for the up close and personal account. I still want to go to Salem. Saving my money!!

We learned about the trials in school and watched a movie on it. Seeing the grave markers really hit it home.

This is the first time seeing some of this in a video. Thank you. Very interesting to see and hear about. I would love to go there someday. I love her fingernails too.

Your wording is perfect on what towns or places do, immediate erasing. The sheer amount of hanging in a time period is so hard to fathom. Happy Halloween 🎃

Gotta love ❤️💕 Bora!! Thanks for showing Bora, who is totally eclectic n controversial n the best witch I have ever seen in the classical witch vien. Love your jack o lantern mask too, Jessica!!!! Dig your crazy nickname, Baby Ghoul, as well. You n Michael are a match made in heaven able to traverse the realms of hell of this earth together!!! Attaboy, Grimmer's!!!

It is great how both of you have found your macabre counterpart, to go explore the darkness within the light of life!

I've never seen a head stone from the 1600s usually there from the 17s cool thanks for sharing I really would love to go to Salem. And Giles Corey said more weight until he died because he was innocent

It appears that you were following us around. We were here during the nation-wide heat wave in Summer 21. This is one of the saddest places I've ever been to. Especially the hanging site.

I'm surprised y'all didn't visit the Victims Memorial and the Foundation of the house where the "Witching" started! The Proctor Spot is really solemn. Wife and I spent ALOT of time there reflecting, not many people know about that spot when they visit Salem. And unlike the Victims Memorial/Foundation it's still within the city limits. GREAT VIDEO as always. It's so neat seeing all these places, alot of which i've been and have memories of! THANK YOU!

Susannah Martin, one of the women murdered during the Salem witch trials, is an ancestor of mine. So sad

Great video. Huge nostalgia for me since I lived in Salem for nearly 10 years. I can't believe that jail is now a residence. It was abandoned when I lived in Salem and it was a creepy creepy place. I can't fathom living in that place now. One weird story: one Halloween I had taken a picture of a guy dressed as Michael Myers standing in front of the house that is next to Charter Street cemetery. It was in the 90's so I developed the film and had it printed. For years there was only one person in the photo. Then one day I looked closer at the photo and there was a second person next to Michael Myers in camouflage hiding in the bushes! This guy never said anything, he didn't move, and for years I didn't even know he was in the photo. It creeps me out thinking about it to this day.

We were just there in late May! Beautiful! The cemetery was closed down for maintenance though, but we found another really old cemetery a few blocks away. I can't wait to go back!

Writing this about my husband who has been to salem many times. It means alot to him as his mom was what you call a traditional pagan Wiccan. Its tragic til this day that people believe its evil ! Wiccans are one with mother earth 🌎 similar to the native americans.Thank you guys for your compassionate episode❤

I love the totally awesome clothes n hats you wear, Jessica, your style is exactly like mine was in the 1970's, when we're were a blend of hippie, goth, n Glam n high fashion, but you are lucky today, cuz no one even bats an eye at that sort of dress, unlike when I was coming up n running the streets n parks n cemeteries n bars n clubs as a teenager. We got great alienation by great scores of the unhip population back then, but we purveyed. I haven't changed my style in all this time n I am 66 yrs old, but I still miss the days when all of us who were innovative dressers were like a great club n always we were accepted by each other no matter where we came from or how old we were!!! It was an awesome time!!! Thanks for continuing on with the most fabulous styles ever !!!

I am glad you guys did this video. While the tourist stuff is fun Salem has very dark past that seems to be forgotten now days.

Just amazing how much detail and work is involved that you pass along to all of us is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for taking us along with you on this amazing adventure

I teared up when you were ready all the names. As always, love your content.

Hi Michael and Jessica :) I really like the respectful way you told the Salem Witch Trial history. We love the spooky part at Halloween but we also need to remember these were real innocent people who were murdered . Thank You once again for a lovely thoughtful walk through Salem's "witch" history . Happy Halloween :)

Love how you guys do things. Safe travels and best wishes.

I absolutely love Salem. I feel very comfortable there. Its been years since I have have been there.I miss the beautiful of Salem. Thank you for this sweet people.

I always catch myself jamming and dancing in my rocking chair when your video starts and when it's over. Lols. I love it.

If you guys are still in Salem go into Red's Sandwich shop and ask for my girlfriend Sharon and you can have a breakfast on us. We like your content.

I am related to Martha and Giles Cory. We have a family book and when I learned I was related to them I always loved learning their story. Thank you for showing me them. Its on my wish list to go visit there

This is what I loved this YT channel youve able to go where no other 'beings' can go! :) ! looking forward for more of these !!!

Great job, you 2. Most informative I've seen on this subject. Thanks.

You two have been on a roll lately. What a fun vacation to be on .. nice mixture of work and play. Great video. So 1692 was the year. Wow. Sad that's how they delt with anything that steered away from the beaten path.

This was informative and interesting - thanks for sharing! I first heard about the Salem Witch Trials from the Arthur Miller play "The Crucible" which has always drawn audiences, along with the several film versions made over the years. Thanks again!

I never got to go to these historical sites. Thank you for allowing us to go along with you and to see what we would otherwise not be able to see. Your hosting skills are awesome! I also love the 2 of you together. I'm new and will be watching more of what you present.

We are watching this again. Such excellent coverage. Bravo!

Thank you for this deeply meaningful respectful historic visit. I will never forget! I just know now they walk in light along with us!

9:23 Borah! Thanks for keeping Salem spooky 🎃

U 2 are so respectful. Ty for covering this

That was such a history lesson, thank you for sharing xx

I love these videos from your new england trip around Halloween time. I am very suprised though at the amount of green leaves that were still on the trees during your time at those places filming. I live in southeast Michigan and most of the trees here were already different colors around that time.

Currently battling covid and so happy to see y’all pop up with a new video! Thanks for the happiness guys!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Also glad you included the Samantha Stevens statue at the beginning too.

I love you guys, you guys make life better for me at work. Thank you 🙏

You guys need to come to England. London’s got the Tower, the Klink, the dungeons (which takes care of the obvious history and touristy bits) but all of Britain is an historical graveland of fascinating stories. You guys are an awesome couple!

I just love you guys. So respectful and wholesome. Your interactions with Jessica remind me so much of my wife and me. Adorable.

My sister and I are going to Vermont and Massachusetts in October this year!! We are definitely seeing this and many other historical places -

Keep up the great work guys, loved it!

Not sure I would want to live in the converted jail…so much sadness would probably permeate in the walls😢 Thanks for all your cool videos!

As my mom always says..."Don't judge history by today's standards."

You guys are a national treasure! Keep up the grimm work!!

Great video!! I wish I was blessed enough financially to go and visit these places all the time like y’all are!!

Hi from Australia!! I've just recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching for days! Keep up the awesome guys! :D xx

Nice work. Best episode yet. Happy Walpurgisnacht to all the ghouls and fiends out there. 🎃🎃🎃

Man I’ve been there in Salem a couple times and you did a great job with this one. I felt the same when I visited the cemetery and the memorial. You guys are the real deal. I have just recently found your channel. Now a subscriber. Keep it up!! Love it!!

My best friend and I walked through this cemetery in knee deep snow in mid February in 2010. We had so much fun. We were bundled up and the only people there.

Hey there, I'm from Australia I really really enjoyed this video, I remember many years ago my mum, my sister and I watched a movie about the town Salem and the Salem witch trails, I didn't watch the whole movie because I was busy with other stuff. Anyway I absolutely love the history behind the Witch trials and I absolutely love this video, I hope that one day I can watch the movie again and this time finish it. Thank you so very much for sharing us your awesome experience at Salem. Hopefully someday in the future I'll be able to come visit Salem. 😊 😊 Thank you. Oh yes, before I forget, before the intro song you play at the beginning of the video, I want to know what's the name of the song that you used? (The one with the chains sounds and the chanting song I mean, I would love to have a copy of the song.)

You really need to come across the pond, you would love the uk’s history

Always a pleasure to watch your videos and learn history. cracking video guys

This was an amazing interactive tour online. Salem has such a rich history and so many injustices wete done there. Thank you for showing this piece of our history that definitely has impacted the world .

History is fascinating! Thank you guys for sharing! It was amazing when me and my wife went and its amazing watching this! Thanks guys!

Something I wanted to share with the two of you and the audience was in regard to hanging back in the day. These poor souls because of the property they owned were strangled to death, except for poor Giles the beyond brave who was pressed to death. Those that were hung had the rope put around their necks and at the appointed time they were pushed forward, strangling until they were dead with no drop to snap the neck. Disgusting and most vile deeds took place there in 1692.

Great video and tour. Thank you!

Once again, this time of year you guys pop up with incredible visits. When I was young witches always had a special place in my heart. My guidance as a child from my parents was always Christian based but was always encouraged to be opened minded. My aunt was responsible for the family geology … surprised all of us we were decent of a witch on trial. My daughter and I will make the journey there next year. Finding out where you guys live surprised me. Please do some drive by vintage Hollywood haunts. That is where I live also and do many on my own. It would be lovely to hear what you dig up.
