Witch hunting can be a fun and profitable business! Host
Eric Dwinnells knows these from first hand
experience as The Witchfinder General of Salem,
MA. But he stole that title from a true historical figure known as
Matthew Hopkins who created the title for himself
even though he was never recognized by the church or the government
as holding any actual power. Join Eric and guest co-host
Tom Cole as they discuss the life and crimes of
the mass murdering Witchfinder General!
How exactly did he rise to power? How did he determine if someone
was a witch? How much did he get paid for this witch hunting? Did
anyone question his cruel torturous methods?What brought his
ghastly career to an end less than two years after it began? All
these questions and many more will be answered!
Plus: Eric talks about his time in Salem, MA hunting for witches
and how he was received there.
