  • Salem History: Sheriff, Criminal, or Piece of Garbage? George Corwin: Effed Up Witch-ory V

    Originally posted to Spotify 1/28/22


    Continuing on my Salem Series and sort of a sequel to last week's episode about Giles Corey, here is the story of George Corwin, Sheriff of Salem during the Witch Trials of 1692, who may or may not have been so terrible that someone put a lien on his corpse when he died.

          Today we are going to discuss one of the first pieces of Greek Mythology that I ever studied and read, Oedipus, perhaps one of the best and most effed up mother effing myths ever.

                • A Brief History of Witchcraft: Effed Up History VIII

                  This episode isn't really about Salem but it is related to Salem. Salem's foreign cousins if you will.  Today we will be talking about a brief history of Witchcraft in the 150 years or so leading up to Salem in England and Scotland. This is in no way a complete history nor is it inclusive of all major events.

                  So sit back, relax, and practice your oh good god what the fuck faces.

                  Also, note, when I am speaking about the Pendle Witches, I misspeak and say that Alyson is Demdike's daughter when I meant to say her granddaughter.  Whoops. Subject me to the water test, I suppose.

                  Today we will be talking about the case of Dorothy Talbye all the way back from the 1630s.  This one is a rough one but thankfully a short one.  Trigger warning for mental health and murder of a child.  If this is something you're uncomfortable with, please skip this one and I'll see you next time.

                  • Salem History: Charlotte Forten Grimke was Salem's First Black Teacher During the Civil War: Effed Up History VI

                    Oh hello hi there.
                    This is the second episode in the Salem Series all about Charlotte Forten, abolitionist, educator, and amazing woman who lived and was educated in Salem for a time before she became the first black public school teacher in the city... pre Civil War.
                    I apologize for the wonky audio, between my cat trying to start his own podcast and my neighbors upstairs practicing their tap dance routine (I can only assume) it was a little weird. I'll try to work on it in the future as I continue to strive to provide you with the best weird podcast about fucked up history.
