EP 38: EUNICE "GOODY" COLE FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE!

Has anyone out there felt like things just weren't going there way? Almost like there were forces beyond your control stopping you from living your best life? Well if you said "yes" then you wouldn't be alone. I'd like to tell you all the story of the first and only woman to be accused of being a witch in New Hampshire, Eunice "Goody" Cole. Honestly from what I read it seemed as is Eunice was always given the short end of the stick in her life and as it would turn out even giving the situation time wouldn't stop the unbelievable from happening. In this weeks episode you will hear how Eunice endured years of torment and what she went through in her struggle to survive. Was justice served? Was she a witch? Does it matter? Listen to this weeks episode and find out for yourself. Enjoy!
