Did you know there are more people accused of witchcraft in Andover than in Salem during the 1692 trials? Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they travel 18 miles from Salem to this northern Massachusetts town. To the home to Martha Carrier, the Queen of Hell. But what else made Andover a hot spot for accusations? Was it church politics? Smallpox outbreaks? Or perhaps bringing the afflicted girls through town to investigate?
