We're back from break! And what better way to return than with an episode about a victim from the Salem Witch Trials. Elizabeth Howe is the only person we have yet to cover from the July 19th executions. She was also the only person executed from the town of Ipswich, even being referred to as the Witch of Ipswich. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they cover the first part of Elizabeth Howe’s life. From her birth in Yorkshire England to whispers of her being a witch a decade before the Salem Witch Trials.
