In Part 1, we covered the life of Bridget Bishop leading up to 1692. We stopped just short of how her story unfolds in the days after her arrest. Although she was hardly the first person accused, she was the first to be brought before the court of Oyer and Terminer. Join local Salem tour guides Jeffrey and Sarah, as they explore the last weeks of Bridget Bishop’s life.

Because Bridget Bishop can be such a contested character in the historical record, we would like to note that we adhered closely to that of Marilynne K. Roach's interpretation. We would highly recommend her works for further reading including:
Six Women of Salem: The Untold Story of the Accused and Their Accusers in the Salem Witch Trials (2013)
The Salem Witch Trials: A Day-by-Day Chronicle of a Community Under Siege (2004)
