Join us as we bring you the author of In the Shadow of Salem. Andover, a town just 20 miles northwest of Salem, had more accusations of witchcraft than any other town caught up in the hysteria during the 1692 Salem Witchcraft Trials.
A total of 45 people were accused including Martha Carrier, (described as the Queen of Hell), who was executed, and Ann Foster, who died in jail. Many more were jailed and admitted to being witches. One person claimed there were over 300 witches.
This presentation will also bring you to locations where Rev. Dane and Parson Barnard lived as well as the cemetery where many involved were buried.
