Salem 1692.

The village stirs beneath the pale sun.

Smoke rises from low chimneys as families begin their morning prayers,

uttering passages from scripture amidst the creaking of their wooden homes.

In this village, every action measures itself

against God's will. Labor is a form of worship. Idleness, a pathway to sin. Children gather kindling

for the day's fire while their fathers walk the fields, frost crunching beneath their boots,

mothers tend spinning wheels and loaves of coarse bread. Yet beneath the rhythm of prayer and duty, unease hangs in the air. As the bell rings,

villagers lift their eyes to heaven, steady in devotion, though within each of them lies a great fear that will soon wreak havoc amongst this small community.

Salem. Paranoia, penance, piety. For the religious puritans of colonial America, this was everyday life. And for the residents of Salem, Massachusetts,

it was all about to get so much worse as they found themselves embarking on a witch hunt

that would leave 19 people dead and a legacy lasting for over 300 years. But who are these Puritans?

What was life like in Salem?

And how terrified of the devil must they have been to let it go so far? Hello everybody, I'm Maddie.

And I'm Anthony.

And today we are back with another day in the life episode.

I always enjoy these because they go off the rails.

And also we do the weirdest days of the life.

It's never like a day in the life of a 1920s postman.

No.

Oh, I'd be interested in that.

That might be fun, to be fair. What's that route? No. Oh, I'd be interested in that. That might be fun to be fair.
