You will hear a detailed discussion on how with time the hysteria of the Salem Witch trails ended. Various factors, such as the changing local political climate and the rules around convictions changed - but not overnight. Also provided will be an explanation of the archaic court system used then in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, that in some ways hastened both convictions and hangings. And provided will be a better understanding of those who were still in jail as of 1693 and their eventual fate. The events between 1692 through to 1711 will be covered, through interviews with Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack, both descendants of those tried and convicted at the time.

This is the third podcast on this topic of New England Witch Trials and links to the other two are below. Note that the earlier podcasts primarily discussed the Connecticut Witch trials also, which pre-dated the Salem trials. (can also be found on Spotify and Apple). Links below are through Buzzsprout:
