Gloucester’s Phantom Thuds: War Paranoia Meets the Salem Witch TrialsWe head to Gloucester on Cape Ann on July 10, 1692, when loud thuds echo near a fortified garrison house, sounding like men hurling stones at a barn. With King William’s War fueling dread of attacks by the French and their Wabanaki allies, garrison houses—private homes strengthened with thick walls, gun ports, and overhanging second stories—stand as emergency shelters amid constant fear. Our story tracks how this wartime anxiety erupted into reports of supernatural, invisible forces pelting homes with rocks, and how local war paranoia blended into the wider Massachusetts witchcraft panic. Gloucester enters the Salem witch hunts late, but afflicted individuals are brought into town and accusations ultimately spread to about nine Gloucester women.00:00 Welcome to the Show00:05 Mysterious Thuds in Gloucester00:22 Garrison Houses and War Fears00:49 From War Panic to Witchcraft01:08 Gloucester Enters the Witch Hunts
