I found this podcast while I was scrolling on Instagram and came across one of Sarahā€™s roller skating videos!! I liked the song W.I.T.C.H šŸ˜‚
Anyways, Iā€™ve always been intrigued with Salem and I myself love going on walking tours and ghost tours.

I enjoy all the information and the banter is so enjoyable that I canā€™t wait to make the trip to Salem and enjoy all the places that you talk about in this podcast!

Great podcast and I canā€™t wait for October episodes especially!!
