Description

Hey everyone! We’re back to discuss the continued witchcraft accusations of the people of Salem and the surrounding communities. We introduce you to quite a few key players in the witchcraft hysteria and discuss the “legal” processes of accusations, examinations, and the trials. We end this episode with the execution of Bridget Bishop, which was the first execution of many. Buckle up, because the afflicted are taking us on a ride that isn’t for the faint of heart.
