Winter of 1692 was bitterly cold and brutal in the newly founded Massachusetts Bay Colony, the ground was covered in a thick blanket of snow and ice coated the trees, farms and homes like a shiny frigid layer of translucent glass. The bone chilling winds howled, it was the kind of January cold that would take your breath away and leave your exposed fingers frostbitten in minutes. 20 miles north of Boston an incident is about to occur that will spawn the hysteria of an entire town and lead to the deaths of 20 colonists accused of signing the Devil’s book, they would hang for witchcraft.
