 Decades before the infamous hysteria gripped Salem, Massachusetts, another colony was already burning witches. In the quiet Puritan towns of Connecticut, from 1647 to 1663, women—and even men—were accused, imprisoned, and executed for crimes that existed only in the minds of their accusers.

No spectral evidence. No headlines. Just a dark chapter buried beneath centuries of silence.In this episode of Disturbing History, Brian unearths the overlooked and unsettling story of America’s first witch trials, where fear took root not in folklore, but in law. With community paranoia, religious extremism, and the collapse of rational justice, Connecticut laid the groundwork for the madness that would come years later in Salem. Who were the accused?
What sparked this early wave of executions?

And why has history tried so hard to forget them?

Sometimes the darkest chapters aren’t the ones we remember…
They’re the ones we never learned to begin with.Justice forgets.
History buries.
But the fire always leaves a trace.
