This is our first two part episode!! And it deals with the Salem Witch trials. In part one we look at the history of witch hunts in general and then begin to go into the details of the historic case with the original accusations. We dive deep into this one with a lot of historical details. We did experience some technical difficulties with the sound early in this episode we do rectify it in the episode at about the 28 minute mark. So I apologize and the episode is still listenable but it is a little screwed up prior to the 28 minute mark.
