An entire community under a spell, an invisible threat. This forces one the masses to turn on each other, to cast aspersions, to point fingers. Neighbour’s become enemies; enemies take each other down. You can trust no one, as even members of your own family begin
whispering under their breaths: “witch”. This is what happened to the folks of Salem,
Massachusetts in 1692. For less than a year, the community seemed to suffer a bout of collective insanity as it persecuted over 200 of its own. Many died under the weight of false accusations of witchcraft and devil worshipping. But what was the source of this wave of hysteria? Was it a deal with the Devil? Or just plain old frenzy? Let’s find out together as we dive into today’s special episode on the Salem Witch Trials.
Haunted History is produced by SoundBite Studios with host Megan Alda and writer/researcher Chloë Kibbe.
