When you hear “Salem Witch Trials,” you probably picture Salem, Massachusetts. But the panic that started it all began a few miles away in Salem Village, the community we now know as Danvers.

In Part 1 of this two-part story, we go back to 1692 to understand how unexplained fits inside one minister’s home turned into accusations, arrests and executions. From Tituba’s confession and spectral evidence to Rebecca Nurse, Giles Corey and the collapse of the trials, we follow how fear spread through an already divided community, and how Salem Village eventually became Danvers.

A family throws away their daughter’s Elsa doll. Then, according to them, it comes back.

This week on Internet After Dark, Alé takes Tom through four unsettling accounts + a spooky Reddit Story: the reportedly haunted Frozen doll in Texas, a woman whose unexplained voices prompted a search for a brain tumor, a Utah river rescue where responders reported hearing a mysterious plea for help, and Japan’s ghost taxi passengers following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

From a published medical case to firsthand accounts that spread online, we explore what was reported, the possible explanations, and the questions that remain.

Which story would stay with you after the episode ends?

Harper knows the truth. Now she has to survive it.

In the final chapter of You Are Safe Here, the confrontation inside The Marlowe leaves no room for another explanation. With help approaching and danger standing between her and the door, Harper must fight for the future someone else tried to take from her.

Thirteen nights of warning signs, unanswered questions, and misplaced trust come down to this.

Return to Apartment 4C one last time for the Season 2 finale of 13 Nights of Macabre, Macabre Mondays’ original Halloween fiction series.

Listen to Nights 1–12 before starting this episode. This is an original fictional story written by Ever Lane.

Thank you for spending these 13 nights with us, sharing your theories, and following Harper’s story to its final chapter.

Harper wanted answers. Now she needs a way out.

In Night 12 of You Are Safe Here, the discoveries at The Marlowe force Harper to reconsider everything she thought she understood. The small details she dismissed, the reassurance she trusted, and the moments she believed she was alone begin to form a terrifying picture.

As Ray works to confirm a witness’s identification, Harper and Dani face a danger that is no longer hiding.

Two nights remain. The truth has finally caught up with them.

Welcome back, When we last left off, our hosts were in a perilous position, coming to you from an abandoned radio station with a Halloween broadcast that had gone awry.

Forced to continue the show (and continue enduring some seriously unsettling tales recorded by their friends in the Collective), the entity on the phone has not only started to make those stories a reality, but It has now begun to learn who they are..

All hopes of escaping alive are starting to seem lost after Brandon fails to make a break for it...but will a ghostly host, back from the past, be the one to save this group and end this curse once and for all? Or will things only continue to get worse for our five podcasters from here?

It’s time to keep the broadcast going, are you ready to tune back in?

The plans don’t match the apartment. Someone needs to find out why.

In Night 11 of You Are Safe Here, Ray revisits Rebecca’s past and speaks to a neighbor who remembers more than anyone realized. Meanwhile, Harper and Dani return to The Marlowe to help with an inspection of Apartment 4C.

It’s daylight. The apartment is empty. They’re only there to explain where the strange sounds and smells occurred.

But while they wait, something catches their attention.

Three nights remain. The answers are getting closer.

Pack the boxes. Hand back the keys. Leave the nightmare behind.

In Night 10 of You Are Safe Here, Harper makes her final move out of Apartment 4C. With her friends helping and the police taking the evidence seriously, she finally has a chance to put distance between herself and The Marlowe.

Then Tessa brings up something she should have shared sooner.

As Ray follows a new lead, the investigation reaches beyond the building’s locked doors and old hallways. Leaving the apartment may have been the right decision. Whether it’s enough is another question.

The camera keeps failing. The door sensor shows nothing. It’s time to try listening.

In Night 9 of You Are Safe Here, Ray digs into The Marlowe’s original plans while Harper prepares to leave Apartment 4C behind. Logan believes her, her friends are helping, and Noah has a new idea: a battery-powered audio recorder that doesn’t need Wi-Fi.

The plan is simple. Pack her belongings, keep everyone together, and leave before midnight.

But getting out of The Marlowe is becoming harder than packing a few boxes.
