About This Event

Joyce Haworth presents on one of the strangest and most painful episodes in American history. In 1692, a group of teenage girls began having bizarre fits and claimed that witches in the community were persecuting them. By the end of the year, twenty women and men had been executed for witchcraft. Sign up begins 9/16.
