What were the Salem witch trials?

Question

Can someone break down for me what the Salem witch trials were?

Answer 1

I just started reading, and these are the kind of contents I like, just talking history with a very pleasant voice, and no music, lol.

Comments

yes no music and one person
I do not like the history channels where 2 people chat and giggle etc
You are great

Answer 2

Sarasota, Florida. I read while I'm driving. Nothing boring about this. The work put into it is obvious and MUCH appreciated.

Comments

Same! Every weekend is about an hour trip to see some family and an hour back. All alone, these stories fill up the empty space nicely

Fort Myers native here. Hello neighbor

Sarasota is nice! I’m a north Floridian, hope you’re doing well

Answer 3

I suffer from constant ringing in my ears. At night it’s hard to sleep due to the focus on the ringing. Your content really help me fall asleep thank you!

Cocoa Beach Florida. Can't sleep in silence, tinnitus fairly squealing puts nerves on edge. A slowed down British voice seems to stop the squealing. Thanks

Mine hasn't gotten to the point of keeping me awake at night, but maybe idk about it yet because I haven't tried to sleep without sound in years. It's definitely bothersome, especially since I'm a musician.

Answer 4

Birmingham, UK. Missing my Mom, who passed a few months ago. She loved Tudor history and would often listen to content just like this while falling asleep

Comments

I'm really honored that this content could remind you of something so special you shared with your mom.

So sorry for your loss ❤

I lost my mom Nov 9th, I miss her more than anything
I understand your longing.

Here from Austria, it's late night here.

Copenhagen, Denmark. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father in January and miss him beyond words. But what a beautiful way to connect with your mom, who I am sure was listening (maybe even guided you here?) along with you.

---

Awhh thank you, That's a very sweet sentiment and one she definitely would agree with. She was a strong believer in spiritual guidance!

Answer 5

Answer 7

Schenectady, NY- only 930 now and reading while falling asleep, but I'll be awake again later and pick up where I left off. You have a very soothing voice and I appreciate that there are very few commercials and especially that the few commercials are not blasted at elevated volume levels. The only negative is that your "boring" stories are often so interesting that they make me want to stay awake

Comments

Upstate NY, too!

---

That's where I grew up!

---

I end up falling asleep and then waking up disappointed that I missed it so I start from the beginning and then it happens again. I can do one story the whole night!

Answer 8

I stumbled across these contents very recently and I am so glad I did. I have aphantasia and tinnitus so falling asleep is usually a drag and hard to do since not only do my ears ring painfully in silence but my mind is virtually empty when my eyes are closed. These contents help a lot, helping me sleep in Ohio ♥
