  • Week 9: The Evil Hand and the First Accusations
    By the time three women were arrested at the end of this week, on March 1st, 1692, nearly everything that would define the Salem witch trials was already in motion. The legal framework existed. The theology was settled. The community had been primed by weeks of unexplained suffering and a physician who ran out of answers. What the examinations of Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba did was confirm what Salem Village had already decided to believe.This is the week that turned a household crisis into a hunt.

Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack at Putnam Pantry in Danvers, Massachusetts
Hosts Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack at Putnam Pantry in Danvers, MA, the town formerly known as Salem Village. Many of our ancestors lived in Salem Village in 1692. Putnam Pantry is located next to the former home of Joseph Putnam, the cool one who reportedly kept his horse saddled so he and his wife could ride away if anyone accused them of witchcraft. Today, you’ll find friendly folks and wicked awesome ice cream in the shop-slash-restaurant.
