Haunted History: Salem Witch Trials Ghosts

Many people claimed to see ghosts during the Salem Witch Trials. We tell some of the ghost stories reported in testimony. Ghosts were usually said to appear in their winding sheets, or burial shrouds. Sometimes 1 ghost appeared, other times hosts of ghosts visited. From cries of vengeance to angry, red ghosts, we cover the bases. Ghost stories were most often spun by the afflicted persons, who claimed ghosts told them that people accused of witchcraft had murdered them. We cover sightings of George Burroughs’ wives, the 13 people allegedly killed by Martha Carrier, a visit by a shining man, and much more.Chapters00:00 Haunted History Intro00:42 Ghosts And Specters Explained02:48 Burroughs Wives Accusations06:03 Thirteen Ghosts In Court07:49 Angel Of Light Encounter09:39 Putnam Grief And Nurse11:30 Mary Esty Returns14:24 More Shrouded Ghosts18:15 Boys Men And Cruel Claims21:39 Hauntings Harm And Wrap Up Links Salem Witch-Hunt Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/salemwitchhunt Salem Witch Trials History YouTube: https://youtube.com/@aboutwitchhunts The Thing About the Salem Witch Trials: https://aboutsalem.com Salem Witch Trials Daily: https://aboutsalem.com/salem-witch-trials-daily/ The Thing About Witch Hunts: https://aboutwitchhunts.com High Quality Scans of Salem Witch Trials Records (Peabody Essex Museum Salem Witch Trials Collection): https://pem.quartexcollections.com/collections/salem-witch-trials-collection Bernard Rosenthal, ed., Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt: https://bookshop.org/a/90227/9781107689619 Emerson W.
