Episode 282 - Haunted Town of Marblehead, Massachusetts
You've heard of Salem, Massachusetts - a town infamously known across the world for the horrendous Salem Witch trials and the falsely accused men and women who were sentenced to death for practicing witchcraft, but have you heard of its neighbor, Marblehead, Massachusetts? Marblehead is full of charm and it happens to be Sabrina's new home. Crooked streets, lopsided houses, a picturesque Americana town that inspired horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft - Marblehead is charming, rich with history of daring sea captains, pioneers in industry and the most historic homes in a United States town, but it is also flooded with history and haunts. The energy is palpable. And if you're a fan of Hocus Pocus, you'll recognize the Old Burial Hill (a Marblehead cemetery) from the film -- it's the cemetery in which Max gets his sneakers stolen. A screeching woman, a white wizard, accused witches, haunted schools, and so many other hauntings occur in this small town... Despite their independence from Salem, Marblehead was plagued by the neighboring Witch Trials and one resident, Wilmot Redd, was found guilty of witchcraft and executed by hanging on September 22, 1692 in Salem, MA. A plaque is dedicated in her owner at the Old Burial Hill Cemetery -- a historic Puritan burial ground that was established in 1638 and is known to be haunted. People report hearing disembodied voices and footsteps or seeing shadow figures and apparitions. Marblehead is also home to one of the oldest coastal forts in the United States -- the Old Fort Seawall -- which was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in April of 1975.
