3D Virtual Camera Reveals Where Salem's Witches Were Hanged

Where were the Salem witches executed? For years, people believed it was at the top of a hill known as Gallows Hill. But a team of historians think it's somewhere else - and they're turning to science to prove it.

Mrs Roach is wrong about which house was "the house below the hill".

Hoping they're talking about Proctor's Ledge, I went to the 325th anniversary in 2017 where the city dedicated a memorial there..

Yes, they are. All of the historians in this video were at the dedication, as well, except for Bejamin Ray?

Martha Corey was hanged during the madness that consumed Salem and is one of my very distant relatives. Her husband Giles Corey was also executed by being crushed to death with heavy stones.

Bet that took years of research!

It took them 6 years to confirm, from what I understand.

Is plural hanged or hung? I thought hung.

[@dogfreak297]

blitzedPIG I’m pretty sure if it’s a hanging regarding the death of a person it’s hanged and if it’s in any other sense it’s hung. So those people were hanged, but you would say you hung that towel on the rack.

It could of been a second spot they did it at since there were so many people found guilty it wouldn’t be impossible that they created a second site so they could get it done faster there really is no truth going off someone book

In the end, the firsthand accounts are the best bet you have. It's best not to act like we know the 1690s better than the people who lived through them.
