Ep. 145: Hannah Cranna

Car trouble, a pesky neighborhood rooster, and wiping out on the sidewalk… Have Hannah and Katy been cursed by a witch? Was Hannah a petty witch in a past life, handing out curses over pie? This week, the girls talk about the legend of Hannah Cranna, the Wicked Witch of Monroe! Find out why this mysterious, resourceful, and robust lady was villainized by her peers, and what became of her after her death. It’s been awhile since we did a witchy tale, and this one feels like just the right fit! So pour the drinks, get the snacks, and enjoy this bit of Local Lore! Sources: https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/hannah-cranna-connecticut-witch-didnt-stand-trial/https://www.ctinsider.com/connecticutmagazine/article/The-CT-Files-Hannah-Cranna-The-Wicked-Witch-of-17041731.phphttps://the-avocado.org/2022/10/27/the-hannah-cranna-night-thread/https://www.westfield.ma.edu/historical-journal/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Callis-combined-summer-2005.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe,_ConnecticutSupport the showFollow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!
