Past Lives

See all news

This fall, New Hampshire Humanities launched a new podcast series called Past Lives that explores the more unusual chapters of New Hampshire’s history, from witchcraft to UFOs, along with compelling stories about the lives of Granite Staters.

The first story is presented in a three-part series: The Real Witches of New Hampshire , a collaboration between New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) and New Hampshire Humanities. The series explores historical cases of witchcraft in New Hampshire along with the stories of modern witches, in order to understand how our idea of the witch has changed over time. T he Real Witches of New Hampshire is hosted by New Hampshire Humanities’ Public Programs Manager, Dr. Tricia Peone, and NHPR reporter,  Justine Paradis. Listen to all three episodes at www.nhhumanities.org/podcast, or get it wherever you listen to podcasts by subscribing to NHPR’s new podcast: Second Greatest Show on Earth.

Join us for a special live event!
