Terrifying & True | Thanksgiving in a Haunted Wilderness: The Pilgrims, the Wampanoag, and the First Feast

Before the First Thanksgiving became a holiday legend, Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag communities faced disease, hunger, and an uneasy alliance. Terrifying & True revisits 1620–1630, the 1621 harvest feast, Massasoit's illness, and accounts of Hobbamock and Hockomock Swamp. Explore Pilgrim fears of a haunted wilderness, colonial interpretations of Indigenous beliefs, and the omens people used to explain catastrophe. What gets lost when a decade of conflict becomes a comforting feast? Sponsor: Savorista. Original offer: 25% off with SPOOKY at https://savorista.com/discount...
