I’m Josh Hutchinson. When I was 16 years old, I visited my grandfather’s hometown, Danvers, Massachusetts, for the first time. I not only learned that Danvers used to be Salem Village, the epicenter of the witch-hunt, I also learned that my great-something-or-other-granddad, Joseph Hutchinson was one of the defenders of his neighbor, Rebecca Nurse. Ever since then, I have been obsessed with the Salem Witch Trials.
