We're back, and we're ready today to chat about the drama, deceit and devilry involved in the Salem Witch Trials!

From Abigail and Betty's affliction to the role of race and gender, the anatomy of hysteria, death by crushing and the accusation of a four-year-old baby who was chained up in prison, we're dissecting the anatomy of hysteria piece by piece. Plus, because this is Hot History, drawing parallels to the present digital witch hunts.

I'm so excited to finish this series for you guys; please also find the hilarious Joe Hegyes here!

Shout out to our incredible researcher Gracie McCamish and editor Jamie Rose for pulling this together.
