The Irish Witch of Boston: The Prelude to Salem

Ann Glover was a poor Irish woman who lived in late 17th century Boston. Although she is a largely forgotten figure, she played a significant role in the famous Salem witchcraft trials. In 1688, Ann was accused of being a witch. Her trial and execution would shape the harrowing events that played out in nearby Salem just a few years later.

In this episode, Fin and Damian explore Ann's life, what we know about her, and why we should remember her story.
