Episode Synopsis


 In 1692, they called her the Queen of Hell. This is the story of Martha Carrier, the fierce and unyielding center of the Salem witch hysteria's spread into Andover. While others confessed under duress, Martha stood defiant, even when her own children were tortured for testimony. Driven by political fear attached to her mysterious, legendary husband, Thomas Carrier, and condemned by authorities like Cotton Mather, Martha refused to break. This podcast tells the shocking truth of the Andover witch crisis and the incredible story of the woman who chose defiance over deception, even on the gallows.
