Description
In the spring of 1692, the tranquility of Salem, a small Puritan community, was shattered by a series of inexplicable events. A group of young women, known as the afflicted girls, began exhibiting bizarre symptoms, including contortions, convulsions, and uncontrollable screaming. As the hysteria spread, they pointed the finger of blame at several members of the community, accusing them of bewitching them.
The accusations quickly spiraled out of control, engulfing Salem in a maelstrom of fear and suspicion. A special court was convened to hear the cases against the accused witches, and the proceedings were a travesty of justice. Based on flimsy evidence, coerced confessions, and a complete disregard for the rights of the accused, the court condemned innocent people to death.
