17th century America
The Connecticut witch trials were a series of witch hunts that occurred in colonial Connecticut between 1647 and 1697, predating and extending beyond the more infamous Salem witch trials of Massachusetts.
In the Psycheverse
Psyche treats the Connecticut trials as a crucial precedent to Salem, examining how early American Puritan hysteria, occult accusation, and systemic persecution functioned in 17th-century colonial life. The Hartford panic of 1662 serves as a focal point for understanding how spiritual anxiety and community paranoia became weaponized against the vulnerable before Salem canonized witch trial mythology.
