77. Witch Trials: John Willard

On August 19th 1692, five more innocent victims were hanged in Salem for the crime of "Sundry Acts of Witchcraft." One of them was John Willard, former Constable of Salem. Having had a change of heart, he was now a target and on the run. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about family rivalries, kidney infections, fisher cats, and that meddlesome Ann Putnam Jr (and her parents too).
