This episode made me homesick for The X-Files, most especially "Die Hand die verletzt." I was also, of course, yelling at the TV: "They never burned witches in New England!" But that's just me.

It's a hollywood cliché. Firefly also had an episode where someone was accused of witchcraft and therefore had to be burned at the stake, and yes this setting felt like New England too. I guess hanging is somehow not for witches, even though it used to be the most common way to put people to death.
