105. Witch Trials: Dropping 1692 Into History

We are often wrapped in the cloak of Salem, its history, its architecture, its vibe. But 1962 stands as the consummate marker of our history. But what else was going in the world at that time? What names might the puritans in Salem have heard? So join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides as they talk 1692. Do you think Increase Mather ever saw a Shakespeare play? Did the judges have discussions about Isaac Newton and theories of gravity or planetary motion? Did Betty Paras ever meet someone who signed the Declaration of Independence? It's all possible. And oh how fun it is to speculate!
