Howard Street Cemetery – A Historic Site of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials

About

Howard Street Cemetery is one of the three burial grounds that bear witness to the infamous 1692 Salem Witch Trials. It is traditionally believed to be the site where Giles Corey was taken to endure the brutal "pressing"—the torture inflicted on those who refused to enter a formal trial.
