The true story of witchcraft in Connecticut has never been told. It has been hidden in the ancient records and in manuscripts in private collection, and those most conversant with the facts have not made them known for one reason or another. It is written here, from authoritative sources, spanning the years 1647-1697. This story should prove of interest and value as a present day interpretation of that strange delusion, which for half a century darkened the lives of the forefathers and foremothers of the colonial days.
