Witchcraft in Colonial Virginia

Join historian Carson Hudson as he explores the often-misunderstood subject of witchcraft persecution in early Virginia. The witchcraft mania that swept through Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 has tended to overshadow the historic record of witchcraft persecution in other colonies. Colonial Virginians shared common beliefs of the existence of witches with the other English Colonies – and throughout the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries there were several witchcraft inquiries. Hudson will discuss the beliefs and legal proceedings regarding witchcraft in early Virginia, separating historical fact from historical fiction.

Included with paid admission to the Preservation Virginia portion of Historic Jamestowne.
