Show Notes
In the beginning of 1692, young women in Salem village began experiencing strange symptoms, which were soon blamed on witchcraft. The girls began accusing neighbours of bewitching them, escalating the situation. More and more young women became afflicted and more townsfolk were accused. 19 people were eventually executed.
In this second instalment, Hallie discusses the criminal trials, the executions, and the rise and fall of the power of the afflicted.
