Must be, has to be, the Season of the Witch. Manchester’s Margo Burns is a historian, researcher, writer, teacher, linguist, presenter, both in-person and on television, and an expert in the 1692 and 1693 witch hunt and trials around Salem Village, Massachusetts. Oh, she’s also the 10th generation great-granddaughter of Rebecca Nurse, who was hanged as a witch at the age of 71 in Salem despite being a fully-covenanted member of the church.
