Most likely you've heard of the witch trials that took place in Salem, Massachusetts from 1692-1693, but have you heard about the trials that happened in the states 45 years prior? And what about the 35,000 plus Europeans that were executed during early modern Europe for witchcraft? Join us as we explore how witch hysteria got its start in the history books and find out which cohost has a family connection to the Salem trials. As always, listener discretion is advised.
