Ep 1. Devil in Salem

In Kindred Spirits season 5 episode 1, titled "Devil in Salem," paranormal investigators Amy Bruni and Adam Berry travel to Salem, Massachusetts, to investigate a haunted bed and breakfast and try to connect with the spirits of those who were accused and executed during the infamous Salem Witch Trials.

Upon arriving at the bed and breakfast, Amy and Adam meet with the owner, who tells them about the strange occurrences that have been happening on the property, including items moving on their own and apparitions being seen in the hallways. The owner also shares some of the history of the building, which was once a courthouse during the witch trials and is rumored to be built on a Native American burial ground.

As they begin their investigation, Amy and Adam focus on trying to make contact with the spirits of the accused witches. They conduct a ritual in a room where one of the trials took place and try to evoke the spirits by calling out their names. They also use various equipment such as EVP (electronic voice phenomena) recorders and EMF (electromagnetic field) detectors to try to capture signs of paranormal activity.

Throughout the course of the investigation, Amy and Adam uncover some chilling evidence that suggests the spirits of the accused witches are indeed present in the bed and breakfast. They capture several EVP recordings that seem to be direct responses to their questions, including one startling response that seems to suggest one of the accused witches was innocent of the charges against her.

The investigation takes a particularly eerie turn when Amy and Adam conduct a seance with several local residents who claim to have psychic abilities and are able to communicate with spirits. During the seance, the group begins to receive powerful messages from the spirits of the accused witches, some of whom seem to be seeking revenge for the injustices they suffered.

Despite several hair-raising moments and unexplained occurrences, Amy and Adam ultimately conclude that the spirits of the accused witches are not malicious and are simply seeking recognition for the wrongs that were done to them. They leave the bed and breakfast with a newfound appreciation for the history and spirits of Salem, and a deep respect for the resilience of those who were falsely accused and punished during the witch trials.

Overall, "Devil in Salem" is a compelling and eerie episode of Kindred Spirits that explores the history and legacy of the infamous Salem Witch Trials through the lens of paranormal investigation. Amy and Adam's dedication to their craft and respectful approach to the spirits they encounter make this episode a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone interested in the unexplained.
