Summary

In 1692, in the town of Salem, Massessechuets, two young girls made claims that other members of their community were witches. These accusations soon spiraled out of control, resulting in over 200 people being charged with witchcraft and the deaths of 20. It remains one of the most notable cases of mass hysteria and religious intolerance in the history of the Americas.
