Sarah Good: The Tragic Story of A Poor Woman Accused of Witchcraft
The story of Sarah Good’s life unfolded as a tale of hardship and accusation amidst the Salem Witch Trials hysteria. Her life, marked by tragedy and poverty, made her the perfect target for accusations of Witchcraft. This blog post dives deep into the life of Sarah Good, exploring her struggles and steadfast defiance in the face of unfounded accusations.
The Final Resting Place of the 20 Victims
The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 claimed the lives of twenty innocent people, yet for centuries the locations of their final resting places remained largely unknown. Because those convicted of witchcraft were denied proper Christian burials, the nineteen victims who were hanged were initially placed in shallow graves near the execution site at Proctor’s Ledge. Some grieving families secretly recovered their loved ones under the cover of darkness and reburied them in unmarked graves on private land.
The 1692 Salem History Tour transforms Salem’s historic streets into an outdoor classroom, where students walk through the history and stories of the Salem Witch Trials and connect with history in a way no textbook ever could.
