They called her a witch. She called the shots—even from the grave.
In this episode, we’re heading to Monroe, Connecticut, to meet Hanna Cranna—New England’s most delightfully petty alleged witch. Known for cursing neighbors, hexing pies, and issuing some seriously spooky funeral instructions, Hanna wasn’t your average 19th-century widow.
We’ll dig into the real woman behind the legend (Hannah Hovey), explore how her eerie reputation took root, and ask the big questions: Was she truly magical, or just masterful at controlling a town that feared her?
From flying rumors to coffin drama, this is the story of the witch who didn’t just haunt Monroe—she hexed her way into it's history.
