She could tell you how your ship would fare at sea. And details of your distant betrothed. She prophesied the outcome of the American Revolution and George Washington's lasting legacy. Born 100 years earlier and her neighbors probably would have hanged her in 1692. But Moll Pitcher was no witch, and she didn't much like the title 'fortune-teller' either. Buckle up friends, we're heading back to the 18th Century and spending most of this episode balancing truth with legend. And to think, it all started with a spoon...

• History of Essex County (1888)
• Moll Pitcher's Prophecies (1895)
• "The Wizarding Family of Marblehead" Marblehead Current
• "The Magician of Marblehead" YankeeXpress
• "Historical Building of the Week: A House of Many Names" Marblehead Weekly News
• "Moll Pitcher - Famous Fortune Teller of Massachusetts" Legends of America
• Moll Pitcher: A Poem by John Greenleaf Whittier (1832)

• Moll Pitcher Souvenir Spoon - eBay (ps. I got mine for a fraction of this so wait for a cheaper one to hit the market!)
