  1. WITCH SALEM TRIALS You’re a WITCH!!!!!!

  2. The story begins… On January 20, 1692, the daughter and niece (Elizabeth Parris and Abigail Williams), became ill. Their behavior, which included seizures, screaming, and trances, was very strange. Besides these two girls other girls also started exhibiting the same strange behavior. This is when everyone started to worry. Doctors could find no medical reason for these symptoms. Well they had to blame it on something, so what did the Puritans say was the cause?

  3. WITCHCRAFT This is when everyone started pointing fingers. Over the next year, many were arrested and put to trial. The first three “witches” to be arrested were the Parris’ Caribbean slave (Tituba), Sarah Good, and Sarah Osborne. Sarah Good and Sarah Osburn were elderly women with a poor reputation. More and more people died, over a dozen were hanged, yet they were all innocent.

  4. And Then it All Ends The trials weren’t always fair and many decisions were made based on intangible evidence. Many forms of torture were used to get the “witches” to confess. All of this finally ended soon after the last hanging in September when the governor ordered that no one else can be convicted due to the intangible evidence.
