    Hello .. my name is Stephanie and I live in Houston Texas. Susannah Martin is my fifth great grandmother. I was blown away when you showed her gravesite and I teared up as well. Thank you for being there and sharing ❤️ I was born July 1962 and she was hanged July 1692 🥲

      I'm related to her through a brother her maiden family, the North side. Sadly thats not a grave site but a memorial, they dont know where theyre buried or if they were even given a grave. I hope the family snuck her away and buried her secretly. Where her house once stood has a marker nearby.

      Are you sure? 1692 was 330 years ago.. Even by today's standards where an average generation is about 25 years years, that would mean she'd have to be more like your 12th great-grandmother, not 5th...

    If you ever get a chance to come to the uk, Scotland and England’s witch trials were beyond nuts, 19 were executed in Salem, over 1500 in the Scotland trials. Crazy.

    • @stevenwebster3286
      @stevenwebster3286 Před 2 lety

      I wonder if those executions coincide with a poor harvest. My theory about Salem is that the witchcraft was a pretense to seize the property of the accused. It's like how the drug war is used to seize property, and gain access to the resources of 3rd countries, such as South America by the CIA, for American corporations.

      @@845SiM One thing people need to remember is that women were not allowed to own property when they lost a spouse or and had no male relative and if they were the only survivor left, it was quite common to turn them in for witchcraft to get their land. Some of the magistrates actually got the land after the deaths of the victims. When really digging into it, it’s easy to see why a lot of people view this as one of the most devious land grabs in colonial history after the girls made those claims. Those people got played. When England had enough on both continents they ended the practice.

    Watching this it makes me realise just how young a country America is. One of our local pubs opened 1622 and is still running. Kings head in Chester. We just walk past it without a thought and buildings that are hundreds of years old. I really must record some of these places more in depth rather than quickly in passing. Even the roman amphitheatre and gardens we walk by without a thought although they are 1000 years old.

    I am a witch and I made the trip to Salem several years ago. I always wanted to go there to pay homage to the people who were killed (targeted) for being different or for merely being easy
    targets. I got so much just by standing at the foot of Gallows Hill and going to the witches jail than anything else in Salem. If you go there to tour the area, avoid the big Witch Museum. It's a rip off. Also, I stayed at Best Western Plus - North Shore Hotel in Danvers and saved a lot of money by doing so. The tradeoff is the traffic you have to deal with between the hotel and Salem. Also try to find the time for a ghost tour; pretty cool.

If you go again the witch walk is lead by one of the high priests or priestess of salem they practice the Cornish (english) witchcraft. It gives you a different way of calling the corners to different practices and a witches perspective as well as the history of salem. One of the better tours.

    This is such a sad historical event.We had things like this too in the U.K. as well ,but witches were burnt or drowned .Very disgusting treatment.Most were innocent people and they lost their lives because someone had a grudge,disliked them,jealousy etc.So many lives lost and sometimes whole families.The worse part the wise women who knew about herbs and acted as midwives were amongst these.So villages and towns lost all that help .These women were so skilled and had been taught from Mother to Daughter for generations.This is when doctors only cure was bloodletting and leeches..So because of loosing women like this others suffered for it too.So sad.I am glad they remember all those who died because they were normal people.It’s sad how witches get labelled with a bad name.Mose are just in tune with the earth and Spirit and are loving caring people .You may even have one living next door.You would never know.The Bad ones(Black witches) ..Mess with things they should not and will live to regret it.These paint a bad picture for all witches .Brilliant video once again and very informative.I did not know that one had been crushed.That must have been awful for him and no doubt drawn out too..Glad I found your Chanel..Love n Light 🥰

    Me and a friend did a trip to Salem in 2019. Funny thing is we were unaware of the shrine they built at Proctor's Ledge. We came up the hill from behind the Walgreens and actually explored the hanging spot. When you get away from the kitsch of Salem and actually stand on the spot where those poor innocent people were hanged for no good reason it's sobering. So glad you guys tapped into that feeling at the end. Amazing place. We also hit the Rebecca Nurse farm where there's another shrine in the graveyard. One of the victims has a grave there as well. Legend states that the bodies were cut down and tossed in a niche on Proctor's Ledge but that the families of some snuck in and recovered them and buried them privately. Witches were not allowed propper graves.

    Great video. Huge nostalgia for me since I lived in Salem for nearly 10 years. I can't believe that jail is now a residence. It was abandoned when I lived in Salem and it was a creepy creepy place. I can't fathom living in that place now. One weird story: one Halloween I had taken a picture of a guy dressed as Michael Myers standing in front of the house that is next to Charter Street cemetery. It was in the 90's so I developed the film and had it printed. For years there was only one person in the photo. Then one day I looked closer at the photo and there was a second person next to Michael Myers in camouflage hiding in the bushes! This guy never said anything, he didn't move, and for years I didn't even know he was in the photo. It creeps me out thinking about it to this day.

    I'm surprised y'all didn't visit the Victims Memorial and the Foundation of the house where the "Witching" started! The Proctor Spot is really solemn. Wife and I spent ALOT of time there reflecting, not many people know about that spot when they visit Salem. And unlike the Victims Memorial/Foundation it's still within the city limits. GREAT VIDEO as always. It's so neat seeing all these places, alot of which i've been and have memories of! THANK YOU!

    I've watched many documentaries about the witch trials in both Salem and in the UK. It was clearly one of the most heartbreaking and shameful acts in our human history. So many people died because of believing in irrational superstition and prejudice. The Witch trials are more than just a real life horror story, but also an example of what people can be like when they are at their worst. I visited Salem two times and it truly is a beautiful place. Love your video by the way!

    My 17th great Grandfather built the Old Ship church in Hingham MA. His children and grandchildren would have been alive during the Salem witch trials just a few miles from Salem. With how popular that entire fiasco was, Im sure people from Hingham made the short journey to Salem to see the witch trials. Crazy to think I could have relatives that were involved in the story.

  • @Shakespearelover1717

    The hysteria emanating from witch trials turns people from human to beast. Group hysteria nearly always leads to irrational conclusions. So the people of Salem who were executed simply were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They were truly martyrs. They deserve all our respect. Thanks for the up close and personal account. I still want to go to Salem. Saving my money!!

    Pressed to death is a story in its self. Samuel Sewall's diary states, under date of Monday, September 19, 1692: About noon at Salem, Giles Cory was pressed to death for standing mute; much pains was used with him two days, one after another, by the court and Captain Gardner of Nantucket who had been of his acquaintance, but all in vain.. however he did say more weight and he never confessed . They needed to get a confession no matter what I have ancestors who died at that trial
