Fairfield, CT Tried Its Witches at Edward’s Pond #fairfieldct #witch #history #halloween In Fairfield, Connecticut, fear and superstition once decided life and death. In 1692, two women were accused of witchcraft after a servant girl fell into violent fits. Bound and cast into Edward’s Pond in a “trial by water,” both floated and survived. One was acquitted, one was condemned but later spared. The pond was filled in long ago, but its dark history lingers beneath the green beside Town Hall. | Cal
