Life in the American state of Massachusetts during the 1600s was filled with challenges, hardships, and for some - opportunity.  Seeking religious freedom, many Puritans travelled over rough waters to create a new life in a little town outside Boston called Salem.  Once there, the Puritan’s lives revolved around family, work, and most of all - religion.  It was this along with colonial conflicts that resulted in accusations of witchcraft, and death.

So break out your wands my spooky friends.  You are about to hear a tale about how fear and superstition resulted chaos.  But before we get started, I would like to give you all a bit of a warning.  Today, we will be talking about torture and violent deaths.  Listener discretion is advised.
