Angebote / Angebote:
In the winter of 1692, several girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts came down with a strange illness. When their fits and strange behavior were determined to be the result of witchcraft, terror spread through the Puritan village. The girls named many women and a few men as witches. During trials, they claimed the spirit of the accused witch was torturing them. Nineteen people were found guilty and hanged before the governor decided that stories of invisible spirits would not count as proof of guilt anymore. This book explores what primed Salem for its witchcraft fever, key people, and the events of the Salem Witch Trials.
