  • Summary

  • Brody and Sarah deep dive into the infamous Witch Trials that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts from 1692-1693. This small Puritan town became the site of one of America's first "mass hysteria" events called "Salem Panic," in which 150 people were jailed, and 20 people (mostly women), were hung on suspicion of dancing with the devil.

    But what was the evidence of witchcraft that started this hysteria? The answers will surprise you! As will what current scientific theories exist about why women became "touched by the devil" AND some of the methods employed in the legal proceedings when the accused were subjected to "witch tests"! It's one for the history books!
