episode 11: The Lyin', The Witch and The Wood Pile
Salem means "peace" but in 1692 the colonists of one of America's oldest towns were faced with war, economic collapse and exceptionally cold winters. How did a minister's daughter in strictly Puritan colonial Massachusetts set off the deadliest witch hunt in American history? Turns out the answer is complicated. We delve into the causes of the Salem Witch Trials in a special two part episode of BT!
