Well, this week we head to what would eventually become the state of Connecticut in the 1600's where we discover that the people of Hartford and multiple other Connecticut villages had their own witch trials complete with Minister's weighing in, a code that included witchcraft as a capital crime and spectral evidence and these trials, in the days before America was a thing, in the days before Salem had quite the body count. The sad thing is that so little information survives in regards to the actual events. No recorded conversations, or recorded trials. We have scattered incomplete records whereas the people in Salem wrote down EVERYTHING. So we dive as deep as we are able in this exhaustive search of fragmentary evidence as we look into the Connecticut witch trials.
