Take a Halloween-themed journey back in time with Marie Carter. Who was considered a witch in colonial New York? Learn about New York City’s only witch trial, and learn about the witches who inhabited the streets of Broome Street (no joke here) and hipster Willamsburgh (when Williamsburg had an “h” on the end). In this humorous and fascinating lecture, you’ll become acquainted with the methods and lifestyle of pre-twentieth century witches of New York.
Marie Carter is a writer, editor, and tour guide who hails from Scotland. She is a tour guide with Boroughs of the Dead, a macabre and ghostly historical walking tour company. She designed and leads the tour “Haunting Histories and Legends of Astoria.” She is also the author of The Trapeze Diaries and the forthcoming novel, Holly’s Hurricane.
