If you thought 2020 was a crazy year, try living in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts! In this haunting and humorous episode, we journey back to 1692 colonial Massachusetts, where fear, suspicion, and superstition ignited one of the most infamous chapters in American history — the Salem Witch Trials.
What started with two young girls' mysterious fits would soon spiral into a full-blown witch hunt, engulfing the Puritan town of Salem in a storm of paranoia. Nineteen innocent people were hanged, one was crushed under stones, and over a hundred were imprisoned — all accused of witchcraft by their neighbors, friends, and even family.
But how did this happen? What were the beliefs, fears, and cultural pressures that allowed such hysteria to take root? Was it ergot poisoning, religious extremism, or a calculated grab for land and power? And why does this dark moment in history still hold such a grip on the American imagination today?
Join us as we explore the origins of the trials and the key players involved. We’ll walk through courtroom drama, the use of "spectral evidence," and the growing unease that eventually led to public regret and legal reform.
