What's spooky season without a bit of true crime? While sensational murders like that of Captain Joseph White in 1830 took Salem and the country by storm, there are countless more that have since been forgotten. But leave it to Sarah to dig through old newspapers and bring them back into our collective memory! Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides as they learn about some crimes of Salem's past. What about the dog who knew of a body in a well and no one listened? How about an attempted murder with a weapon purchased right on Front Street? And lastly, a gruesome murder on Boston Street. Was it a lover's quarrel, a secret engagement, or just a creep who couldn't handle rejection?
