As the Glebe House Museum proudly celebrates its 100th anniversary, they are bringing exciting new life to an audience favorite. Their popular “Witch of Woodbury” program is being reimagined in an altogether spellbinding format — a live theatrical podcast presentation, featuring the haunting history of local legend Moll Cramer and others accused of witchcraft in colonial Connecticut.

A New Historical Experience JStep back in time with us at the Glebe House as the legendary Moll Cramer, often called the “Witch of Woodbury,” returns to lead you through the mysterious and haunting stories of colonial Connecticut’s witch trials. Moll, your enigmatic host, will introduce you to the lives and legends of Thomas Allyn—a man ensnared by suspicion and superstition; Rebecca Greensmith—one of Hartford’s best-known accused; and Katherine Harrison—a wealthy widow whose fortune became her curse. Together, you’ll uncover why the Connecticut River Valley became a hotbed for some of America’s earliest witch executions, and how fear and folklore shaped the destinies of ordinary people.​
