Selects: Salem Witchcraft Trials: More Bonkers Than You Know

Looking back 300 years on, it’s easy to overgeneralize why the Salem Villagers decided to persecute (and execute) their neighbors.

Listen to this classic episode to find out what we think we know and what we don't. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
