In our last episode, we covered Elizabeth Howe's life leading up to 1692, her journey from Yorkshire to Rowley, and the whispers of witchcraft that followed her before any afflicted girls in Salem cried out her name. In part two, we dive into her examination, subsequent testimonies, and trial aftermath. There's even a few research gems at the end. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, for the conclusion of Elizabeth Howe's story.
