Halloween Special: How England’s Witch Hunts Led To The Salem Witch Trials
It’s our Halloween special!
In the 17th century, Britain went mad with witch-hunting. What sorts of people were targeted? How were they caught? And how did this all set the stage for what would later happen in Salem, Massachusetts?
To answer these questions and more, we’re joined by Professor Marion Gibson, author of the new book Witchland: A Deadly Moral Panic in Seventeenth-Century Britain.
