E24: William Stoughton
from Evil Men
In a lot of ways, Willam Stoughton was the original Judge Judy. Serving as Chief Justice during the Salem Witch Trials (1692-1693), Stoughton was a stern and extremely pious man who truly believed he was sent by God to chase the Devil out of Massachusetts Bay. Unfortunately, his righteous war on witchcraft involved arresting four-year-olds, terrorizing elderly, deaf women, and sentencing twenty innocent people to death based on “spectral evidence.” Enjoy!ALSO: during the intro, Chris, James and Michael talk about haunted homes, delicious late night meals and time travel.Support Evil Men on Patreon for exclusive bonus episodes and dazzling treats.Follow Evil Men on Twitter and Instagram.
