Three of these women are in my family. Mary Towne Eastey is my 10th grandmother, her sisters were Rebecca Nurse and Sara Cloyse. Sara was released but Mary and Rebecca were not. My 10th grandfather Isaac Eastey was later paid $60 for the inconvenience by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

I am learning about Colonial American in my APUSH class rn, and we're gonna talk about the trials a little bit. And what a coincidence one of my fav channels JUST posted a video about it.
My 11th great grandmother was Mary Bradbury, who in her late 70s was tried, convicted, and sentenced to hang on September 9, 1692. Her sentence was delayed and though history is not fully clear, she somehow escaped jail as well as her impending execution, later dying of natural causes at the age of 85. Her name was eventually cleared while still alive and 11 years after her death in 1711, her heirs were paid 20 pounds, which looks to equal about $4,800 USD today.
Bit more about Giles Corey. As he refused to enter a plea (which was why he was pressed, to force him to enter one, sorry) his possessions weren't and couldn't by law be taken from his family. He died deliberately so his family could keep what they had. "More weight" kind of has uh, more weight to it. 😅 Oooops. I just got to that part.
"As within, so without; "As above, so below; "As the universe, so the soul.” I personally think intent has everything to do with it, at least as far as spells go. If one sets out to intentionally do harm, then it's evil. If one sets out to help someone heal either mentally or physically, then it's good. Of course, this doesn't include giving people poisonous plants or something, even inadvertently. I'm talking about just casting a spell, saying an incantation, giving someone a "good luck charm" or talisman to keep with them, that kind of thing. A heck of a lot of horrific things have been done to a heck of a lot of innocent people, by a heck of a lot of ignorant (and often, just plain cruel) people over the centuries and even into modern times. For the sole reason that these people were/are “different” from the persecutors’ “norm”. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with helping/healing people. I myself have a pagan altar in my bedroom. No, I don’t sacrifice virgins on it at the hour of the New Moon, blah, blah. No, I do not worship Satan. My altar holds several different objects that are meaningful to me, and which benefit my personal meditation practices. I am a Crystal Witch. I am not Wiccan. I do not belong to a coven. I am what is called a Solitary Practitioner. I practice my craft alone. My husband carries two tiny protective crystals with him wherever he goes. I gifted them to him because I love him. I don’t force my beliefs onto him, because I also respect his freedom of choice. But he carries those crystals with him because he knows that I gave them to him because I care about him, and that is their “magic”. I don’t know if he believes they protect him (they are to absorb and dispel negative energy from other people/situations), but I believe they do, and that is enough for him. I use card decks in my meditations. No, they are not Tarot cards, but it wouldn’t matter if they were. They are cards with positive affirmations on them, with a corresponding crystal to focus on for that particular day. I carry a pouch of protective crystals with me, too. If people came a’huntin me, I’d be burned or hung or whatever. I have cats and a dog, too. My “familiars” I guess they’d say. I am the descendant of the witches they could not kill. And proud of it.
Thanks so much for your thoughts. I think we are all descendants of some group that someone else tried to wipe out. I sometimes think of how many ancestors had to dodge the blade just so I could sit here and make videos for you all today.
@@ASMR_Historian Thank you for your kind response. I agree with you that everybody has ancestors who were persecuted for some reason or other. Your comment about your ancestors having to dodge the blade is intriguing. You have piqued my curiosity.
My ancestor, George Jacobs Sr., was among the last victims hung in the Salem witch trials. He and his son were accused by his daughter in law. The son, George Jacobs Jr., was able to escape to the south. I'm a descendant of that son.
In middle school, my literature teacher apologized to us us for making us read The crucible as 8th graders. Years later I understood Nice telling you've done here. Thanks, thanks
11:00 It's quite... "funny" what people came up with back then. Everything was used against you. 28:00 Bro knew there was nothing he could do, he was facing his end like a real man, baddass 🔥. 37:00 how do you even get out of shit like that you can't say anything to defend yourself, those times were really sick 💀. They really grabbed anyone they could find, sometimes I think they just did it for fun or something like that, it must have been some kind of hobby back then, those things happened like every other week 💀. If you had a disability or illness, you were a really easy target... Especially the torture methods, how tf did they come up with those stone torture methods, I've never heard anything like that before. Interesting video, keep it up bro 💯.
Strange superstitions. The modern term witch hunt still rings true in its essence, the pendulum can always swing and we might end up right back where we were in those old days.
American history has not yet been marinated long enough to entail a BA. Or my ex husband will say, to you, an hundred years is a long time, to us, an hundred miles is a long way. 😂 from Prince George VA 😂

Rebecca Nurse is my ancestor as well !
i wonder what the conversion rate is because 60 dollars doesn’t not seem nearly enough

Why were we taught 2 fear witches and not of the people who burned them alive??
Been a while I fall asleep to your videos and now u posted one of my fav history topics :00 thank you !!!

Thank you for this! I remember when they blamed this on ergot poisoning.
Spectral evidence was an insane concept.

How do you put out so many videos?! I’m always shocked at the amount of material you produce! 😆 Enjoy your content, thank you!
Teamwork, always. Thanks for watching.
The real question is if they weighed the same as a duck
Have you done an episode about the Pendle witch trials? They are just as interesting.
Not yet but now that you mention it, its probably about time I do.

Thanks so much, hope you enjoyed the video.
Just started and Susanna Martin is my ancestor and she was 70😭The story is so sad
Love the topic. I do find it funny however, that you have both the words "disturbing",and "relaxing" in the description. Well played Sir. LOL
A little from column A, a little from column B.
I was waiting for this one 💯🖤
Oh I’m so excited about this oneeeee! I just wish I could listen long enough to learn something 😂
Interesting subject buddy , loved the vid❤

So we all on this topic in US History now? 💀
Yes, because it's very applicable now 😅
Never again the burning times.
