The Real Salem - The Road to the Trials (Part 2)
Manage episode 417067213 series 3565090
The thrilling conclusion to the Salem Witch Trials is explored...
At the location where the first accusations of witchcraft were made, Noodles and I tackle popular theories, forgotten history and overlooked locations.
Although, it’s temping to attribute one cause to the Salam Witch trials - the reality and it’s implications are much more complex.
What happened in Salem Village in 1692 is both strange and familiar, ridiculous and understandable, outlandish and conventional.
More than anything - the story of the trials, with its showings of fear, courage, cruelty, unpredictability, - showcase the deepest parts of human nature in us all.
