Countdown To Halloween – Story #7

Night 7 Countdown to Halloween - "Half Hanged" Episode 12 of the podcast, Lore, tells the story of "Half Hanged" Mary Webster of Hadley, Massachusetts. Accused of witchcraft at age 60 in 1683 (9 years before the Salem Witch Trials), she was brought to trial in Boston and cleared of charges. Her community still believed she was responsible for the illness and suffering of her main accuser, however, so they decided to take action.
