ShortHand: The Witches of New England
At first, stories of European witch-panics were nothing more than idle gossip to the settlers of New England. But soon – faced with inexplicable blights; long, punishing winters; and stories of people carried off into the night by indigenous tribes – suspicions of black magic became very real indeed.
Picking up where we left off last year, H&S see how the madness of the European witch craze made its way to the New World. So strap in for sinister rituals, lots of piss-based magic, and how it all came to a head in the little village of Salem, Massachusetts.
