Caviar and Criminals

The Connecticut Witch Panic


Listen Later

This Halloween, Dana takes Anthony back to a time before Salem — to the dark woods of colonial Connecticut, where fear and faith collided in the first witch trials on American soil. Long before the infamous hysteria of 1692, towns like Hartford and Windsor were already haunted by accusations, curses, and executions. In this chilling special, the two uncover the forgotten women who were condemned as witches, the Puritan paranoia that fueled their trials, and how these early cases set the stage for America’s most notorious witch hunts.
