Connecticut 1600's Witch Trials and Exoneration

People Hidden In History

I will be covering history that is past, current and future. The historical topic being the mostly unknown 1600’s witch trials that occurred in Connecticut - since they are far less well known - than Salem Mass and surrounding towns - Witch Trails of 1692. You will hear interviews with descendants from both Connecticut and Massachusetts. And I'll report on these descendants' current efforts to exonerate - and effectively clear the names of their Connecticut ancestors for the unjust accusations and the tragedy of their deaths. And this exoneration will hopefully come to fruition in the future.
