Read a text about the Salem witch trials. -
In 1692, two girls living in Salem Village, Massachusetts, began having bizarre outbursts,
during which they seemed to lose control of their bodies and speech. They also complained of painful stabbing sensations. Soon, other girls in the area started experiencing similar episodes. At that time, witchcraft was largely accepted as fact, and with no medical evidence for the girls' terrifying behavior, the community concluded that they had fallen under the spells of witches. Thus began a horrific chapter in American history. Over the next year, more than two hundred innocent people, most of them
women, were accused of practicing witchcraft. Twenty individuals were ultimately
convicted and executed.
