Summary
In this first episode of Fabulous Folklore's Witches theme for July, I'm chatting to Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack from the End Witch Hunts project about the Salem Witch Trials. We'll be discussing the context of the trials, possible causes that don't involve mouldy bread, the aftermath of the trials for those accused, and the ongoing witch hunts that result in very real harm around the world. Josh Hutchinson is a descendant of people accused of witchcraft and of people who accused others of witchcraft. Sarah Jack is a documented descendant of victims of witch trials held in Salem, Boston, and Hartford, including Rebecca Nurse, Mary Easty, Mary Hale, and Winifred Benham. They co-host three history podcasts: The Thing About Witch Hunts, The Thing About the Salem Witch Trials, and Salem Witch Trials Daily. They are also co-founders of the Connecticut Witch Trial Exoneration Project and End Witch Hunts, America’s only nonprofit organisation dedicated to raising awareness of the continuation of violence related to witchcraft accusations. Let’s explore the Salem Witch Trials in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
