- Summary:
- Would it surprise you to learn that not one person was burned at the stake during the Salem Witch Trials? The tragedy was that 19 were hanged and one was "pressed" to death -- all on the accusations of young girls. Join us as we recall those hysterical days of American colonial history when over 150 people were jailed and tortured.
