January 13, 2023 Real Witches Graves [TEASER]
Across America, there are urban legends and folklore about witches' graves and the supernatural happenings connected to them, but is there any historical truth within those tales? In the first of two January bonus episodes, I read a chapter from Ghosts and Legends of Northern Ohio by William G. Krejci that explores the last three people known to be persecuted for witchcraft in my home state.
