Sharon and Mindy discuss the fascinating history behind the infamous Salem Witch Trials: how it started, how it ended, what really may have happened, and how this tragic event reshaped Salem forever. Plus we discuss modern witches, movies about witches, how the Salem Witch Trials are still relevant today and maybe not so much has changed since 1693.
