215 | The Witch Trials: Salem & Other Lesser Known Stories
The fear of witches has been a part of America from the beginning. Yet it is not just a New World occurrence. We begin with the infamous Salem Witch Trials before heading across the pond to discuss The Witches of St. Osyth.
History has taught us that it is common for a group of regular people in any country or colony to turn their fears and anxieties on their neighbors with deadly consequences, yet here we are hundreds of years later, and many still wonder if there were any actual witches among the many who were prosecuted throughout history.
While there is also a profound belief that the devil was behind the dark outcome in these cases, we will leave it to you to decide where you stand when it comes to the guilt of the accused.
We’ll see you on the inside..
