Long Island Witchcraft

The most famous American witch hunt began in

1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. Yet, more than three decades prior, Long Island

had its very own witchcraft trial: the Trial of Goody Garlick. Accusations of

flying on poles and cavorting with the devil ran rampant in the colonies during

the 17th century and led to hundreds of accusations of witchcraft. Join Tara
