31. Witch Trials: Giles Corey

Within the scope of the Salem Witch Trials, 19 innocent people were hanged and 1 was tortured to death – pressed over the course of two days. Giles Corey, an 81-year-old yeoman farmer known for his grumpy disposition was that one outlier. Join Salem tour guides Jeffrey & Sarah as they talk about Corey's tenuous relationship with his neighbors, with the church, and why he was so critical of what was happening here in 1692.
