104. The Groton "Witch"
Okay, but she wasn't actually accused of witchcraft, nor did she really accuse anyone of witchcraft. Was Elizabeth Knapp afflicted like Betty Paris and Abigail Williams? Absolutely. But why didn't her strange behavior lead to a witch hunt like the Puritan's would see in Salem twenty years later. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about the so-called Groton “witch.”

Honestly, I found this episode pretty disappointing. The title made it sound like we’d get a real witch-trial story, but the woman in question was never actually accused of witchcraft, so it felt a bit misleading. The hosts clearly love the topic, but the discussion wandered and never really dug into why her case mattered or how it fit into the bigger picture of colonial New England. It ended up feeling more like casual chatting than a focused history podcast.
