Organized by region, city and town, the book's dozens of stories include the earliest Puritan accounts of 17th century witches, urban legends about desolate locations haunted by ghostly witch hunt victims, tales of Cape Cod sailors battling witches, and other stories of sinister (and sometimes sympathetic) spellcasters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMassachusetts has a rich history of witchcraft that spans nearly four centuries. Most people are aware of the Salem witch trials but fewer know about the Dogtown witches, the Pepperell farmer who hired a hypnotist to save his bewitched daughter, or Half-Hanged Mary, the witch who died twice and inspired The Handmaid's Tale. These stories are known locally in the towns where they occurred but have never been collected into one book before. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Muise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493060244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493060245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Globe Pequot Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.06w x 0.64d","brand":"Peter Muise","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044165677311,"sku":"9781493060245","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a031eb5-a18d-4181-b020-ff21c5cedce4.jpg?v=1684971308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/witches-and-warlocks-of-massachusetts-peter-muise-9781493060245","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
