I Spent the Day With Salem's Satanists & Witches

In this video, I spent the day with Satanist witches in Salem, Massachusetts, aka “The Witch City.” Growing up in Beverly, MA, which is right next door to Salem, I always had a fascination with witchcraft and the history of Salem.

Now a place for modern witches to practice freely, just a few hundred years ago, Salem experienced a Witch Hunt that has gone done in history. The Salem Witch Trials began in January of 1692 and by September, only nine months later, 19 people were executed by hanging, 1 man was pressed to death, and hundreds of others died in jail. While some were tortured to confession, many maintained their innocence.

Long before the Salem Witch Trials began in the 1400s with the European witch trials. At the end of the 14th century, the plague known as the Black Death killed nearly one-third of the population. Survivors strived to find an explanation and many pointed their fingers at witches, labeling single women or those who held knowledge of ancient folklore as working for Satan. Hundreds were burned to death and tortured during this time.

After the Puritans settled in Massachusetts Bay around 1630, the community would suffer years of hardship to find their way in the New World. Including failure of crops, famine, war, a smallpox epidemic, and a mini Ice age. Tensions ran high and the community sought answers. January of 1692 marked the beginning of the famous Salem Witch Trials. It all started when daughter Reverend Samuel Parris, Betty Parris, and her cousin Abigail Williams began “having fits.” Doctors had no answers so it was suggested that they must be bewitched. Soon, other girls in Salem Village began having the same afflictions and the community began to panic. When asked who is bewitching them, they name three names: Sarah Good, Sarah Osbourne, and Tituba, the slave of Reverend Parris. People fear that the Devil is loose in Salem and is controlling a secret coven of witches to cause harm. With this, the hysteria heightens and hundreds of people are accused, arrested, and thrown in jail.

Going into this experience I’ll admit that I definitely had some fears about being around Satanists and witches who I didn’t know. I had no idea what these people were going to be like. But after spending time with Thomas, Pixie, and Sarah-Frankie, I ended up learning so much and really getting to know the human beings in front of me. I realized I had no reason to be afraid of them and my fears were only coming from the fear of the unknown. My new friends taught me so much about history, religion, and their belief system and I absolutely loved spending the day with them. This experience was an incredible reminder to release judgment of others and if you take the time to get to know someone, you might be surprised by what you learn.

If you visit Salem, MA, be sure to take a tour with my new friends!
