In this episode of Wicked Curious Roxie shares some spooky tales of colonial medicine, eerie folkways and herbal closets. Were some sicknesses the work of witchcraft or the devil? How did a doctor from Connecticut brew his "black powder" potion to treat smallpox? Discover the frights of 1735 in southern New Hampshire that changed the course of history (and perhaps left a ghost story or two) in several small communities.
