In the latest edition of Kaatscast: The Catskills Podcast, host Brett Barry sat down with historian Samantha Misa in the Frisbee family cemetery to uncover some witchy tales from our collective Catskills past, just in time for Halloween.
Misa shares some haunted encounters from Delaware County’s Frisbee House and recounts tales from her book, “Witches of the Catskills.”
Plus, Misa recounts the challenges of researching historical witchcraft, using old newspapers and archival records to reconstruct the tales.
