The Salem Witch Trials
Episode description
With Spooky Season almost over, this episode we're getting into the haunting events of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. What do you get when you combine mass hysteria with fear of the supernatural and the devil?? You get a lot of baseless accusations and the execution of innocent people. We explore the factors that fueled the frenzy, from local rivalries to religious extremism, and how these tragic trials left a lasting mark on American history.
