Case 156: Ropes Mansion Salem - It's all just Hocus Pocus

There is a white colonial style house on Essex Street in Salem, Massachusetts.

If it looks familiar to you it’s because it was used in the Disney movie HOCUS POCUS.

But this house is not just a movie location.

Its history is much more interesting than that.

It’s been mobbed, modernized, and reutilized. One inhabitant died of smallpox, and a later inhabitant caught fire.

Today the Ropes Mansion is owned by the Peabody Essex Museum.

You can visit it and ghost tours are also available.

In this week’s episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we put on our Pointy witch’s hats

and take our magic wands down Essex Street to knock on the front door of Ropes Mansion so that we can find out for ourselves who is still haunting this building and what they might want!

It's only about 10 weeks before we visit Salem for ourselves and we can hardly contain our excitement.

Expect a lot of stories about Salem between now and then and also check out our socials for photos and lives while we are overseas.

Hello True Hauntings Podcast Fans and first time listeners,

As from this episode we no longer have to capable production work that was part of the podcast for the last two years - our beautiful Bonnie, who took the raw material we recorded and made sense of it has needed to move on and become the legend that she deserves to be.

So Anne has taken it upon herself to grab the reigns of producing the podcast from now on.

May God be with her!!!

She is a powerhouse of accepting challenges and is doing her best to keep the quality of the show exactly what our listeners are used to.

Please forgive any blips that might come up over the next month or two as she now adds this craft under her belt of skills.

We thank Bonnie for her selfless giving over the last 24 months from the very moment she came in to save us when we lost our first producer of the podcast she has been a lifesaver!

We also acknowledge the amazing work she has done to get us ever closer to 1 million downloads.

This is STILL OUR MISSION for 2024.

We would love to see True Hauntings get to 1 million downloads by New Years Eve 2024.

Let's do it.

As always -
