It's Savanah's turn this week, guys, and we're diving into the story of Bridget Bishop.  Bridget was born in England sometime during the 1630s, but immigrated to a small American town in Massachusetts called . . . Salem.  Bridget married several times and became a business owner alongside her third husband, Edward Bishop.  Things seemed cool until 1692 when five young girls accused Bridget of witchcraft and kicked off what would become the infamous Salem Witch Trials.  When all was said and done, 20 people would be found guilty and put to death leaving us with the burning question: did Bridget's accusers truly believe she was a witch or did they all just have an ulterior motive?
