What began as a mysterious affliction of two young girls who suffered violent fits and exhibited strange behavior soon spread to other young women. Rumors of demonic possession and witchcraft consumed Salem. Soon three women were arrested under suspicion of being witches--but as the hysteria spread, more than 200 people were accused. Thirty were found guilty, twenty were executed, and others died in jail or their lives were ruined. What really happened in Salem? Killing the Witches tells the horrifying story of a colonial town's madness, offering the historical context of similar episodes of community mania during that time, and exploring the evidence that emerged in the Salem trials, in contemporary accounts, and in subsequent investigations. -- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Salem (Mass.) $x History $y Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775. 650 0 $a Witches $x History $z Salem $z Salem $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Trials (Witchcraft) $z Salem $z Salem $x History $y 17th century. 700 1 $a Dugard, Martin, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20240118010737.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20240106011040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=51DA7AA6AC6111EEB8E173B432ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
