The Salem Witch Trials: A Reference Guide by K.A Modest Enquiry into the Nature of Witchcraft by Rev.
Here in our last episode of our first season, we take an in-depth look at the fascinating yet heart-breaking time in our history known as The Salem Witch Trials. Nineteen of those accused were hung and one was pressed to death. It was a group of roughly 9 girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts, who were taken at their fantastical word of being physically tormented by certain members of their own village which eventually led to over 200 people being accused of witchcraft. They were the years when mass hysteria ruled the land and young girls were inexplicably stricken with fits of screaming, barking, shaking, and crying. The years 1692-1693 were some of the darkest times in American history.
