Rachel Fuller and Isabella Towle

Hampton's Other "Witches"

Goody Cole wasn't the only woman to be accused of witchcraft in Hampton. While lesser known, Rachel Fuller also ended up in prison for witchcraft, the same year that Goody Cole died -- 1680. Isabella (Austin) Towle was another woman who joined her in prison. Not much has been written about them but what there is appears below.
