Listen "149. Witch Trials: Sarah Wildes (part 1)"
Episode Synopsis
333 years ago, fear was starting to stir in seventeenth-century Salem as a few young girls claimed to be afflicted by unseen forces. Over the next year, superstition, fear, and a broken legal system would ultimately lead to the wrongful convictions and executions of 19 people. But what exactly was so scandalous or threatening about Sarah Wildes? Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they delve into the life of another victim from the Salem Witch Trials. Was her reputation as bad her time in court would make it seem? Did she just follow a non-traditional path? And where did she get that silk scarf?!
