This is episode 220. Today I bring you the story of the Salem Witch Trials. There are so many things I found that I didn’t know about these dark moments in history. The events began in 1692 by an 8 and 11-year-old but the seeds of this injustice began years earlier. What could possibly cause people to hang so many people of their own community!
