Home of one of the Salem witch trial judges

Some of the interrogations were done here. 200 were jailed, 19 were hanged, and 1 who refused to talk was crushed to death under a board they piled stones on one at a time. He cursed the sheriff and every sheriff since then has either died of heart issues or had to leave office because of them. The leader of the young girl accusers later recanted and apologized for what she did. Most names were cleared around 1957. In 2001 the last 6 were finally cleared when the governor signed a legislative resolution.
