Wife of Moon: Berkley Prime Crime Mysteries , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 499min

In 1907, photographer Edward S. Curtis arrived at the Wind River Reservation, hoping to document the Arapaho way of life before it vanished altogether. To preserve the legacy of warriors in battle, Curtis staged an attack on a village, planning to capture it on film. But it became all too real when the daughter of the tribe's chief was found murdered, and her killer was never identified. Now, Curtis's photographs are on display at the museum of St. Francis Mission on the reservation, and history seems doomed to repeat itself. A descendant of the tribal chief who appeared in Curtis's pictures has been shot to death, and the museum's curator has disappeared. The two incidents may be linked to the near century-old murder. Soon, Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley will discover an even more disturbing connection to present-day events. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephanie Brush.

Seeking Sanctuary in Salem: An Untravel Tour of Historic Salem, Massachusetts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min

Salem will be forever linked to that dark period when 20 people were put to death during the Witchcraft Trials of 1692. Nothing stirs the heart more than pacts with the Devil, magic spells, enchantments, and the supernatural. Today, Salem attracts curious tourists and people who are interested in modern witches, who practice a nature-based religion known as Wicca. Two Wiccan high priests give their accounts of the Witchcraft Hysteria of 1692 and what it means to New Age seekers today. The first part of the tour highlights buildings that are on the grounds of the Peabody Essex Museum. Through the museum's foresight, some of Salem's oldest and grandest architecture is being preserved. The last part of the tour takes you to the Salem Maritime Historical Site, which has preserved a number of waterfront buildings, including the Narbonne House, and which oversaw the building of the 1797 replica Friendship merchant vessel.
