Historian's Guide to the Salem Witch Trials
Historian's Guide to the Salem Witch Trials
Highlights
This tour is only given by Krystina, a historian specializing in the history of witchcraft that has presented academically both nationally and internationally.
This tour will talk about the darker side of Salem's history: the reality of the witch trials (both within and out of Salem), the Old Witch Gaol, the old County Jail, and the victims of the Salem witch trials.
This is an adult tour. We will discuss injustice, true crime, deaths, executions, the history of witch trials and mistreatment of individuals of various races, religions, and genders. I am not doing so with the intention of being obscene or extreme in any way, nor am I doing it for shock value. It is simply my passion to tell the history as close to reality as I can. I look forward to sharing the darker side of this beautiful city with you.
Prepare for your trip in advance by listening to my podcast Effed Up History!
