Summary: For a special Halloween episode, we take a trip into Pennsylvania's colonial past, which had a brief brush with accusations of witchcraft. Listen to excerpts from a reenactment of the 1684 trial of Margaret Mattson, the Witch of Ridley Creek -- Pennsylvania's only witch trial -- put on by local actors at the Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum. Plus, host Kayla Dwyer discusses this hysteria with two experts on the Salem Witch Trials, which took place eight years after Mattson's trial. Music for this episode is by Christian Lloyd and Martin Gratton. Valley View is a production of The Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Special thanks to our sponsor, the Lehigh Center for Clinical Research.
