The witch-trial thread runs through the whole hour. The listing promises the victims, the accusers and the culprits, told at the places where events happened. The operator's stop list adds The Burying Point, resting place of many participants in the trials, and the site of the original witch-trial courthouse. The guide closes at the Witch Trials Memorial, honoring the people wrongfully convicted and executed. None of the listed stops carries an admission ticket.
Then Ghosts, Hawthorne and a TV Witch
The rest of the hour leans on lore and pop culture. The listing names the Merchant Inn for its history and hauntings, and the Nathaniel Hawthorne statue for his life, his writing and his connection to the trials. At the Samantha statue from Bewitched, the listing tells you to take your picture. The guide adds the show's Salem filming there, and the inclusions add Hocus Pocus filming locations along the way.
Who Holds the Story

Allie Del Franco is a stand-up comedian and film writer, and Alina Tuoni plays in the band The Pleasing Terrors. The booking does not say which guide you will get.
