Restless
souls, restless convictions, restless angst, restless spirits...the
overwhelming sensation when roaming the streets of Salem, Massachusetts
and wandering the halls of the Sprague Mansion in Cranston, Rhode
Island. Both are filled with a history of politics, greed, revenge,
accusations, and murder. Both continue to be plagued by mystery.
The causes of the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria of 1692 have long
been the center of much discussion and debate. The same is true
of the long history of tragedy that settled on the Sprague Family,
beginning with the yet unsolved murder of Amasa Sprague in 1843.
What
perfect subjects for the May issue of Cyrilmagazine. Within these
pages you will discover the mysteries that surround these haunted
places. In the Interview section, I talk with two authors who
have recently published new works that explore the events that
led to the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria of 1692. And, of course,
Cyril has provided a beautiful pictorial to accompany the text.
You
can also learn about the Sprague Family Mansion and legend from
the foremost Sprague Family authority and Mansion curator. Cyril
has not only provided beautiful photos to accompany this site,
but the Mansion also appears as the backdrop for the May Cyrilfold.
All the photos beautifully capture the eerie and haunting beauty
of the family homestead.
While
you delve into the mysteries of Salem and the Sprague family explored
in the magazine, you can listen to the haunting and ethereal music
of Vincent Morte. Download a mp3 while you peruse the magazine.
The combination of text, photos and music will be certain to take
you to another plane.
