During our Laurie Cabot episodes, we learned that in 1981 she worked as “Technical Consultant” on a horror movie about witches that took place in... you guessed it... Salem! The Coming, later titled Burned at the Stake is a must-see for any Salem-lover. So join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, for another obscure movie review! Was it historically accurate? Did it represent Salem well? How did William Good time travel? And how do we feel about gooey, alien representations of evil?

Welcome to the 1980’s! At least for this week's episode as we continue with the life and times of Laurie Cabot, "Official Witch of Salem.” Laurie continues to make headlines across the country and even appears in National Geographic. Magic baseball bats? Oil speculation? Mayoral controversy? And why did she protest the filming of the movie The Witches of Eastwick?

No, victims of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials were not actual witches. But fast forward three centuries and you'll find the city is home to more than 5,000 practicing witches. Only one of them, however, can claim the title "Official Witch of Salem." Her name is Laurie Cabot and she helped create the Witch Mecca you see today. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they delve into the life of this incredible woman - which is ongoing by the way (Laurie is turning 92 this year). When did her abilities begin? How did she end up in Salem? Would you have jumped at the chance to take after-school witchcraft classes at her house in the 1970s?
