@cailin5309
My mom was born in Salem and her sister was born in Roswell.. she would call her sister an alien &her sister would call her a witch lol
@nomeinthecottage4767
I was born in Salem and I teach this topic.
@KisameOwnsYouAll
I wonder how many people have died because some little white girl wanted attention.
@geovannis7340

@elizabeth.noelle
Stephanie, please do a video on the Kimberly Story.
@ravenstormchild6491
My best friend is a descendant of Cotton Mathers and it makes us giggle as I am a practicing Witch…😂
@dnzrdm
What a shitshow.
@karentucker2161
Puritans were definitely legalistic which is not a good way to go if you're gonna be a Christian.
@trinitymeow2396
I know some witches in ower Dan and age they still exist
@mnaylor81
We have the 13 curves
@Lucy-ym8ch
Oyer and terminer is pronounced oy- yay and terminay. This is important because oyer means hearing. When I was a child most English villages still had a town crier, or cryer. He would ring a bell in the marketplace, shouting " oyez oyez" ( oy- yay oy- yay) and hear ye, hear ye before delivering the town news. It's probably a French term, from the Norman invaders in 1066.
That aside, what evil people these good Puritan Pilgrims seemed to be. Bit like the Civil War here.
@DrewJacobson61
We’ll done Stephanie 👍
It is absolutely horrible what we do to each other in the name of religion 😢.
As followers of Jesus we are commanded to love our enemies.
There will be a judgement day for these horrible people.
@kdsmoke
😂😂😂 nooooooo 😂😂😂 Annie Putnam is a asshole 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know I’m SUPER LATE to this video but I’m SOOOOO glad I’m watching it just for that sentence. Oh my god LOL 😭😁🤣
@truthkilcarry
allow me to introduce ms. Lynn MineMei.
@truthkilcarry
More, that you find me forgiven, for in any way having done unto you. See you.
@truthkilcarry
I prey each day you are alive and well, in custodial presence of thyself, and needing much. My love, all that is needed is to never be as strong as they need you to be.
@Tabbs909
Salem witch trails always gets me… 😂
They made their lives harder than they already were. Stupid people, the girls that were putting on a show should have been the ones deemed a witch since they were “seeing things and knowing things”. Yet everyone believed them, wtf? I read that Ergot poisoning was the cause of all of their hysteria.
@margooneil5289
My ex husband's brother married a women from Danvers. Danvers is actually Salemville but want to shed it past so it cha get its name. I've been to Goodie Nurses house and spent a three weeks with them checking out Salem, Boston and Plymoth Rock.
@jen_wren_x
Love your channel.. 🎃 Esp, your “Harloween Season” 🧡✨🌙
@amylloyd2078
The word is “anyway.” Not “ anyways.”
And it’s Anne not Annie Putnam.
Why are you so sloppy with your research?
@aaronallen5300
wow people like Amber Heard make the Me To movement look very similar to the Salem Witch Trials
@luciaseacreature8705
i hope Stephanie makes more Harloween shows she puts a lot more detail into already known stories horror stories of our past 😊
@WishfulThinkingArt
This was one of my favorite history topics on school. I remember deeply researching the trials for a paper in my college Religion class, and one of my history professors told the story of Salem Village and Salem Town to a group of students that had never heard that side of the trials before. I really want to visit Salem one day during the fall to get that blast of Halloween flavor and to get a close-up look at these events.
@rulenevandersteen7835
Stephanie, I truly appreciate your research and presentation of this very sad and tragic part of history. I am an English teacher and I had to do "The Crucible" with the learners numerous times. You really did a fantastic job explaining what happened. Thanks a million. 💝
@ANDREA-kk2gx
I'm from Massachusetts and as a teenager we ALWAYS WENT TO SALEM.. ESPECIALLY FOR HALLOWEEN!!!
@rachelann9362
Funfact: I’m a descendant of an accused, trialed, and convicted “witch” of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials, along with a few other women from Andover. Her husband was considered wealthy and owned a lot of land, it’s been proposed that’s why she was targeted. Her name was Mary Osgood (maiden name: Clements) , born around 1637 in England. She was about 55 at the time of her trial. Her son Peter Osgood (who was a constable) and Mary’s husband, Captain John Osgood Sr., helped pursue her case and get her released. It’s believed she was eventually released on bond. She died around 1710.
Her daughter Lydia is my 10th great grandmother via my father’s maternal line. Funny twist: My paternal grandmother was the daughter of a Reverend with the Salvation Army in the 1910s, and they traveled as a family band for a few years.

I love the spooky season it's very dear to my heart 👻 🦇 🧹⚰️💖
Ever since I found Harloween I've been hooked and been watching ur amazing channel for years. Hope to always see ur videos. They've brought me joy and helped to brighten my days thru some very tough times
@lenorevanalstine1219
ah yes because a witch trying to avoid being convicted and killed will definatly use their powers on the people accusing her of using said powers to attack them to attack while literaly on trial for it
@helenr4300
heart or blood disease covers a huge range of possible causes of death, especially before current medicine. Plus people will ignore the other sheriffs who don't fit the pattern. As for the Salem hysteria , I am with you, something got out of hand and the first girls couldn't back down without be in huge trouble. And then it was also a release to act in all sorts of ways and say words that would get them beaten in normal circumstances. Then yes the opportunistic settling of scores. As for confessing , there may have had the belief of confess and seek church absolution, submit to an exorcism maybe (acting as you think you should to convey a leaving of demons etc and maybe they would live. .
If we dare to think it was just ye olde days, 1970s/80s Satan Panic; QAnon and its claims of satanic cabals ….
@timothyramsey7010
So what happened To these delusional teenagers
@rubyflipper
ZERO sympathy for Giles Corey. Sounds like an AH and a half.
@umokay5516
Imagine- it’s 2022 and people are still trying to push religion into laws 😰
@lizjarvis689
Imagine taking your kids to the Dr and the Dr says “ meh, I have no idea. Must be witchcraft!”
@Pittykittymomma4ever
Stephanie! I came to this episode because you linked it in the video about Annalise and the exorcisms. I must have skipped over this one when I binged watched you after I found you. I do remember seeing a video on the Salem Witch Trials, but not sure if it was yours or not, but I purposely didn't watch because I thought I knew all about the trials because I live in RI and often visited Salem. I also studied Wicca as a young adult in the 90's and of course, history and English Lit classes in high school. Seeing the link the other day made me really want to watch this episode because of your deep dives!!! I learned SO, SO, SO MUCH from this!!! Thank you for being the amazing researcher and story teller that you are!!
@ellieeckhardt7620
Very boring life, created out of boredom.
@kathyclay2836
I loved this podcast. We recently visited Salem so I have been absorbing all the history I can find on the subject of the Witch Trials. This was very very informative and I learned so much more than I even knew from the visit. Urine biscuits. Wow. These puritans were batshit. And people of God, no way. God would be ashamed. Thanks so much for this.
@tracyjae209
Truly sounds like carbon monoxide poisoning which could affect the kids but not the adults depending on ventilation
@intuitivelyinsync862

@vladimiramiller3738

@brendagraham7999
All I can say is thank god I wasn’t living there back then because I am sure I would of been hung , can’t keep my mouth shut 🤣🤣🤣
@FannyAdamsGhost
Accusers lived on one side of the river, the accused lived on the other. It was for land, that's why Corey never confessed, so his land would go to his family, not his accusers. It was a land dispute of it's day.
