Legacy Lore
Legacy Lore: The Accused follows the story of Eleanor Neale, a woman accused of witchcraft in 17th-century Virginia - not for casting spells, but for speaking up. Host Sammy Jo, Eleanor's 11th great-granddaughter, uncovers the truth through personal research, archival records, and storytelling that blends genealogy with social history. Because sometimes, history gets it wrong. And sometimes, it just takes one voice to set the record straight.
