Salem’s Gallows Hill Project | Marilynne K. Roach

Willful forgetting, conflicting memories, and dueling antiquarians, plus new clues unearthed from old manuscripts - all led to the scientifically verified (re-)discovery of Procter’s Ledge as the actual site of the 1692 Salem witch trial hangings.

I disagree with Mrs Roach about "the house below the hill" (17:00) address. Something I have never heard Mrs Roach speak of the palisade walls that were built to protect Salem village during King Phillips War. The house she refers to and believes the house below the hill to be at 18:15 was INSIDE the palisade wall.
The only house that was outside the palisade wall was George Hacker's house... which is almost directly across from Proctor's Ledge and the 1st house you pass as you came over Town Bridge into Salem. Someone inside Mr Hacker's house would have had no obstructions at all and could very easily witness the hangings.
