Salem State Prof On Extreme Genes On Buttoning Down Location of Salem Witch Hangings

January 23, 2016 by Fisher Leave a Comment

Last week we told you about how a group of seven experts spent five years working on confirming the location of the hanging of the victims of the Salem Witch Trials, and how they all agree… “Proctor’s Ledge,” near a Walgreen’s.  On this week’s show, airing on radio 1/23 & 1/24, podcast beginning Monday 1/25, Professor Emerson Baker of Salem State University visits with Fisher about the process and what they hope will be the result of their fascinating work.  Here’s the news account:
