Just to be historically accurate, by the time of the Salem witchcraft trials English law had forbidden the use of fire as a means of execution. And in 1692 Massachusetts was an English colony. No witches were ever burned in America. Hanged, yes, but not burned. I am not aware that African Voodoo had any role in the Salem trials. It makes for great drama though, right up the Shadow's alley, and a good story for Hallowe'en! Definitely worth a thumbs up.
Thanks for this post! Definitely love this story come back full circle. A good one you should hear (well it's more of an adventure show, Escape). They have a story called Papa Benjamin. Kinda the same story just with a band leader. Have a good week!
I don't think so. This stuff is real! Dangerous! Once you put into motion it has its own life. No one can control! Yep, i researched it and even did it a few times till I wised up.
OTR HALLOWEENHOLIDAZE ... I think they just beefed it up a bit and tried to make a point by saying that voodoo and witchcraft is evil and really push the idea that The Shadow is the hero. Then again, it could also be a subliminal message to the average American public to stay away from savage rituals. The bad guy in this story did abuse a native from Africa.
@@OTRHALLOWEENHOLIDAZE I'm not so sure. Basic history just adding Shadow. Most of Salem witches were innocent. Anyone different were dunked and burned. Trials were anything but decent and just, and anyone could cry "witch" I studied Salem witches.
