Witchcraft Wars, Trials and Hunts in Pennsylvania
Witchcraft in Pennsylvania? When people think of witchcraft trials, Salem comes to mind. The Keystone State also had witchcraft wars that Salem did not have. Pennsylvania’s witch’s fared better that Massachusetts’s because none were put to death. But, there was no mass hysteria in Pennsylvania like there was in Salem. The Rehmeyer murder resulted in the Governor trying to eradicate PowWow, the magickal practice of the Pennsylvania Dutch, believing it to be silly superstition, but that just drove the practice underground. William Penn, the Quaker founder of the commonwealth took part in the earliest recorded trial. Discover the witches of Pennsylvania.
