Jason Scappaticci on The Connecticut Witch Trials 2023

There are few people who know witch trials even took place outside of Salem. However, Connecticut led the way in the prosecution and execution of witches almost 50 years before the Salem Witch Trials began. Learn more about these unsettling and uncanny events on Halloween Eve, Monday, October 30th!
