Join us for the Witches in Connecticut presented by the CT Historical Society on Wednesday, October 26th at 1:00pm. Come learn the harrowing story of the hanging of witches in Colonial New England that continues to haunt our present-day imagination. The trials and executions of witches in Connecticut predated the more famous Salem witch panic by over 40 years. Hear the stories of some of the women and men accused, tried, and executed as witches and learn how Connecticut successfully controlled the spread of witch accusations long before Salem erupted in panic and violence.

Reviewed by Reader John Ihn “Not Privileged to Know has an exceptional plot delivered in an out of the ordinary writing style. The author has two styles in this tremendously interesting story. His in-depth perceptions of what the characters are thinking and his use of specific developmental conversations give added insight into a very unique and exciting plot. I would highly recommend it to any lovers of crime or mystery novels.” Books will be available for signing.
