Episode description

A mere 200 years after the Salem Witch Trials, New Englanders were thrust back into fear and paranoia as families were consumed, withered away, and perished to an unknown presence. The cause? Vampires, of course! Grab a drink and come explore with us as we go down the rabbit hole of vampire hunting in 19th century New England. This week's booze of choice: Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA.
