Sweet & Spooky at Marelli's Market

Long before there were Salem Witch Trials, there was Goody Cole, the Witch of Hampton!

Get ready for Halloween with the Witch of Hampton at the 100-year-old Marelli’s Market in Hampton. Author Cheryl Lassiter will be signing “The Mark of Goody Cole,” the first-ever book-length biography of Goodwife Unise Cole, a woman persecuted for witchcraft in the 17th century.

Pumpkin Jack will be handing out treat bags and Goody Cole coloring pages for the kids, then at 4:30 p.m. the author will read an excerpt from the book which tells of Goody Cole’s attempts to “entice” with witchcraft a young girl named Ann Smith.
