Salem is definitely a spooky, haunted place, even today! Good research and good hub. What a shame. These people were wrongly accused and wrongly executed! MM
spooky lol, you seem smart, want to hang out some time? :)
Ironic that there was an article on Yahoo news today saying that executions for Witch craft worldwise were on the rise. Strange that 300 years later and we still haven't learnt a thing. Good hub, I have always found Salem trials interesting.
I think this is a pil of bul
cooool maybe more info but still not bad
I am always interested in reading about the salem witch trials. So unjust, but it just shows how easily people can be scared into hysteria and do unthinkable things such as hang innocent people. It also is proof that one must always be certain of fair and just trial. Thank you for the hub
Amazing! all but one were hung in 1962. President Kennedy should of put a stop to this.
All of them died in 1600s not in the 1900s
haha,,i couldve never figured any of this bul out until i got on here. =]]. thnkxx.
Why is Constance Goodwife not mentioned here? She was the LAST person to die at the hands of the Salem witch hunters.

Many of these characters appear in my novel THE AFFLICTED GIRLS A Novel of Salem, winner of 2010 IPPY Silver Medal for Historical Fiction. I hope some here will consider reading it. (ISBN: 978-0-615-32313-8) Thank you.
sweet an scary at the same time
my great great great grandfather is john proctor he was hanged during this tragedy
how come not many men were witches
Anna men weren't accused of doing witchcraft Back in the 1600' s because they were men. Only a couple did like John proctor. Thats why men were your faith leader then they were the houses crutch same goes with the reverend why didn't he get accused of witchcraft anyone could have been involved in witchcraft. witchcraft has been in my family for centuries I recently was introduced by my grandmama it's tradition to be introduced at the age 20 in my family. The stories my grandmama has told me about the Salem witch trials are awful, but in my family we hid my grandfather back in 1691- 1697 was a reverend then no one accused him so that's my point
I thought that more people were executed during the witch trials, and I thought that some of them were burned at the stake?
This is cutie just like u :-*
sara osborne who died before she was hung is from my family.
so sad and so wrong
So unfair,but sis man!So mysterious and spooooooooooooookyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Im doing this for my history homework and it is really interesting.I had no clue that someone was pressed to death.
i am glad i did my english paper on this man never would have known all this info its dark and cool my thing
