Alice Young was a puritan woman of the early Massachusetts Bay Colony, notable for being the first woman to be executed for witchcraft in the American colonies. Her trial was presided over by then governor John Winthrop, who delivered the verdict, and the case against her presented by Matthew Hopkins, English Witchfinder General. She was found guilty, and was burned at the stake atop Beacon Hill. Centuries later, the earth upon which she was executed was moved, as the hill itself was repurposed into landfill to expand the Back Bay. Atop the earth once constituting her grave was built the Ames-Webster Mansion, which she haunts to this day.
