124. Witch Trials: Martha Carrier

Listen Later

On August 19th, 1692 Salem saw its third round of executions. Four men and one woman were hanged that day -- a group so sensational that Cotton Mather himself attended their last moments. He had to see the Queen of Hell for himself. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about Martha Carrier, the first person to be accused from Andover, a town that saw more accusations than any other.
