Sharon and Mindy discuss the fascinating history behind the infamous Salem Witch Trials: how it started, how it ended, what really may have happened, and how this tragic event reshaped Salem forever. Plus we discuss modern witches, movies about witches, how the Salem Witch Trials are still relevant today and maybe not so much has changed since 1693.    References https://www.history.com/topics/colonial-america/salem-witch-trials https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/a-brief-history-of-the-salem-witch-trials-175162489/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials https://historyofmassachusetts.org/the-salem-witch-trials/ https://www.salem.org/salem-witch-trials/ https://www.loc.gov/item/today-in-history/march-01/ https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/10/30/16560092/salem-witch-trials-magic-halloween-witchcraft-arthur-miller-crucible-past https://www.historyextra.com/period/tudor/history-witches-facts-burned-hanged/ https://theconversation.com/most-witches-are-women-because-witch-hunts-were-all-about-persecuting-the-powerless-125427 https://www.history.com/topics/folklore/history-of-witches https://www.vice.com/en/article/7x3jbq/the-true-story-of-tituba-the-slave-at-the-center-of-the-salem-witch-trials https://www.ushistory.org/us/3g.asp https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/03/witchcraft-juliet-diaz/605518/ https://creepycatalog.com/witch-movies/ IMDb.com Witch Movies The Witch (2015) Hocus Pocus (1993) Rosemary's Baby (1968) Eve's Bayou (1997) The Craft (1996) Practical Magic (1998) The Three Mother's Series by Dario Argento Suspiria (1997) Inferno (1980) The Mother of Tears (2007) Black Sunday (1960) The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) The Blair Witch Project (1999) The Crucible (1999)     whorestalkhorror@gmail.com   https://www.instagram.com/whorestalkhorror/   https://www.patreon.com/whorestalkhorror   https://www.facebook.com/wh0restalkhorror   https://twitter.com/whoreshorror     Thunder crash SFX by ophylia Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC 3.0) Fade out has been added https://freesound.org/people/ophylia/sounds/474995/
