Fear Street Wiki

The Hanging of Sarah Fier was the event in which Sarah Fier was hanged and killed after being falsely identified as a witch. It took place on July 23, 1666 at the hanging tree in Union, Ohio, United States when Solomon Goode and the people of Union killed her after Solomon used Sarah as a scapegoat.

The event took place in Fear Street Part 3: 1666.

History[]

When Solomon needed a scapegoat to get away with his crimes after he had been the one to call forth Satan and begin the pact that lead to Pastor Cyrus Miller killing the children of Union, he accused Sarah and forced her to tell the townspeople that she had been the one to curse Cyrus and that she had also cured Hannah Miller into loving her.

Once she had declared what she had been told to say, iron chains were wrapped around Sarah's neck and she was raised up and hanged.

Aftermath[]

As the people believed her word that she was a witch, Sarah's death became a catalyst for the existence of Shadyside and Sunnyvale where Union had split with the people of Sunnyvale living luxurious lives while those in Shadyside suffered with Sarah being blamed.

Solomon would then continue his pact with Satan and would teach his eldest son about the ritual with it being passed down for generations until 1994.
