In this episode of Witch Hunt, host Antonio Stuckey narrates the life and tragic fate of Martha Carrier, a victim of the Salem Witch Trials. Described by some contemporaries as a “rampant hag” and “the queen in hell,” Martha Carrier has long fascinated people with her take-no-grief attitude in court and her steadfast denial of guilt.

Born Martha Allen in Andover, she married Thomas Carrier and faced suspicion and accusations of witchcraft after a smallpox epidemic hit her community. Despite maintaining her innocence, Martha and her children were arrested and coerced into confessions. She was convicted based on biased testimonies and hanged on August 19, 1692. Her name was cleared in 1711, and she is remembered with memorials honoring her strong character.
