91. WITCH: Giles Corey—Witch?

Giles Corey was a farmer in Massachusetts who rather enjoyed attending the Salem Witch Trials along with his wife as a spectator. Until, of course, he found himself on trial for witchcraft. We forgot to mention it in the episode, but this one was suggested to us by one of our listeners. Thanks Mike!
