Frightful

In this Bonus Episode, host Peter Laws shares a very strange experience that he had as a teenager...that came back in his early 20s. Did he witness a ghost, a demon, a cryptid...or was it all just a trick of the mind.

(PART TWO)

Tonight, we return to the frontier town in Springfield, Massachusetts, where witchcraft fever is about to explode. This is the second and final part of my immersive retelling of the little known story of Hugh and Mary Parsons - The Witches of Springfield, 1651 .

Note: I first learned about this case from the excellent and in depth book, 'The Ruin of All Witches' by Malcolm Gaskell. If this podcast intrigues you, do grab the book as it has far more detail. You can find the book here.

(PART ONE)

Tonight, I will take you to frontier town in Springfield, Massachusetts. The year is 1651, and strange things are starting to occur…livestock are dying, crops are struggling, and food is starting to spoil. Locals are even having strange seizures, and at night, as they try to sleep, they are haunted by terrifying nightmares. Then, the children of the village start to die…

 

Are they just going through a terrible season…or might this be the season of the witch.

 

I’m Peter Laws, and tonight on Frightful, we head back to the 17th century, to a town that is so gripped with suspicion and fear, they will go to any lengths to keep the evil at bay. This is part one of the little known story of Hugh and Mary Parsons - The Witches of Springfield, 1651 .

Note: I first learned about this case from the excellent and in depth book, 'The Ruin of All Witches' by Malcolm Gaskell. If this podcast intrigues you, do grab the book as it has far more detail.

From the same team that brings you Frightful - introducing our podcast Hometown History.

Since 2016, Shane has been traveling to hometowns across America in search of forgotten history. Sure, these places may not be your hometown, but they are someone's and that is what makes them important. Shane travels to these places of forgotten historical significance and shares these stories with you.

We all love hearing the unknown stories of the places we visit when planning a trip - like the Redwoods National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, or Sun Studio. But what about Parker's Cross Roads, Tennessee? Or the Island in Michigan where the only American King ruled? But if you also enjoy traveling vicariously then this is also a podcast for you.
