Read 27 chilling, historically grounded stories about the real witch trials that terrorized New England in the 1600s.During a time already steeped in superstition, fear itself became the most dangerous force in New England. Ordinary people of the 17th century—friends, neighbors, fathers, mothers, and even young children—were accused of witchcraft based on rumor, malice, and suspicion. From the infamous Salem witch trials to lesser-known cases across Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and beyond, these true stories reveal how paranoia, religious extremism, and social tension led to cruelty, imprisonment, brutal punishment, and death.Witches of New England portrays the lives of the accused, including Sarah Good, Tituba, Rebecca Nurse, Eunice “Goody” Cole, and many others whose stories have been overshadowed by myth. Drawing on historical records, each account is retold as a short narrative, bringing readers face-to-face with the injustices, fears, and tragedies that defined one of the darkest chapters in American history.Authors Jessica Freeburg and Natalie Fowler are active paranormal investigators with a deep interest in the unexplained and the misunderstood. For this collection, they turned their investigative skills toward history—carefully researching real cases to separate fact from folklore while honoring the people whose lives were forever changed by false accusations.Perfect for horror fans and history buffs, these 27 true tales are gripping, unsettling, and deeply human. At just a few pages each, the short stories are ideal for quick reading, classroom discussion, or sharing aloud. Witches of New England proves that the most frightening stories aren’t always about ghosts or monsters—but about what people are capable of when fear takes hold.
