Summary
In 1785, Margaret Krieger of Pownal, Vermont, narrowly escaped a witch trial after being dunked in the Hoosic River—she sank, proving (in their superstition) she wasn’t a witch. Now, her descendants are attending the annual Witches Walk and Remembrance event, turning history into a hauntingly fun celebration where everyone’s invited to dress up and honor a rare moment when justice—or at least folklore—turned out to be on her side.
