1692, Salem Files: Susannah Sheldon

[Note: This is an original format episode.  Please also try the new format beginning 8 Aug 2024, Season 2 - Episode 1]

S1E16:  In this episode we discover the lost origins of Susannah Sheldon, never before discovered or shared.  She was an "afflicted girl" who has been largely forgotten compared to other figures in the trials and yet was one of the most prolific testifiers.  We will also review some of the details of Susannah's testimonies and the individuals that she helped to send to the gallows.
