183. Witch Trials: Alice Parker

Listen Later

We return to 1692 Salem to talk about another victim of the Salem Witch Trials: Alice Parker. Details of her early life may be scant - maybe even nonexistent - but those superstitious puritans left behind plenty of vivid examinations and testimony for us to sift through. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, for a look at Alice Parker's story.
