Fortune Tellers, Mediums, and Witchcraft - Did They Get Away With Murder?

yes please Appalachian mountains! I did my master's thesis on their Geology. The mountains themselves used to be as tall as the Himalayas, but have been eroded over time. They're so old they actually predate trees, sharks, and the rings of Saturn!!

Thank you for the editor(s) plugging in the butter churner each time Bailey made those motions 😂

I live in Pennsylvania near the Appalachian trail, and I’ve grown up knowing: do not look up in the trees, avoid bent tree areas, and if you heard something weird- no you didn’t.

The rule of hospitality! The Ancient Greeks had a myth where Zeus disguised himself as a beggar and when no one showed him any kindness, he struck down the entire town. So the Ancient Greeks had a strict hospitality rule towards strangers and beggars

“Left-handed, Loud-mouthed and Accused” will title my diary entry today 😂🙌

My favorite story that came out of the Salem witch trials is the one of Giles Corey. He was the man that was pressed to death. He ended up in that situation in order for his property to be passed on to his family and not go back to essentially the government. If you confess or were found guilty, which most were, your property went back to the state and your family lost everything. So when they were pressing him with the board over him and adding more stones every time they asked him to confess he kept saying more weight until he died. His family got to keep their home. I think it's unbelievably brave that he endured that in order to make sure his family was okay. His son had already been tried, convicted, and put to death which meant the property passed on to the next male relative. I was just in Salem last weekend and all the stories are extraordinarily heavy. It's a great place to visit if you like history and I highly recommend it.

Tituba is now officially on my dead or alive dinner party list.

Thank you Tituba for creating all modern day depictions of Witches. Flying on brooms, Devil's book, etc Kinda sad 300 years later and not much has changed.

BAILEYY please do an episode on Anarcha Westcott - a black enslaved girl, the true mother of gynecology and how her body was abused and experimented on without anesthesia so that we can “have” modern gynecology 😢 Her name is erased from books and her identity forgotten! We must remember her name - we owe her that at least 😔💔 Like Henrietta Lacks, soo many black womens body’s have been mishandled, abused, stolen from in order to benefit humanity - in spite of theirs. And then later their identity is erased like they didn’t even exist. May their legacy and names always be remembered ❤️‍🩹

Bailey, you once said 'If you can't blame it on the devil, blame it on women' - that quote has stuck with me (soon literally because I'm getting it tattooed) because it's still true in some cases now!
