And as usual, some reference to well known American families turns up, even here amongst witches and spectre sightings, as the author, David Nelson, claims that ex-U.S. President, George Bush 8th great-grandson of Mary Parker who was hanged during the trials.
The author, goes on to say that Bush was related to, " 217 of the almost 1,500 trials participants including jurors, marshals and constables who accused others, or were accused, of witchcraft."
Anyone with an interest in history, witches, and what I would describe as mass hysteria, will find this interesting.
