PROLOGUE….
The setting of this crisis was in good old Salem,
Massachusetts.
 Salem was a town where the Puritans lived.
 The Puritans were a group of people who wanted to
purify or “simplify” the church, and make it more strict.
 The Puritans were English. They were also Anglican
(religion believed in England).
 And by purify I mean, nothing special.
 They believed that Christ wanted them to respect him,
and their religion in a simple manner.
HOW IT STARTED
 One day The daughter (Betty Parris), and niece (Abigail
Williams)
Reverend
Samuel Parris became
IT ofWAS
JANUARY
1692
mysteriously ill. They both started to have mysterious,
and random seizures, and spasms.
 Samuel called the village doctor (William Griggs). His
diagnoses was witchcraft.
 Later on, Betty Parris, and Abigail Williams had been
accused for the act of witchcraft.
 And from that day on everyone in Salem had believed in
witches, witchcraft, and wizardry.
 Abigail, and Betty both
blamed 3 women that they
said afflicted them.
 Those 3 women were:
 Sarah Good- a
homeless beggar
 Sarah Osborne- a
elderly famished woman
 Tituba- slave of the
Parris family (Caribbean)
 These women
were convicted
of being witches.And
so were
SARAH
GOOD
& SARAH
OSBORNE
brought to court.
& TITUBA
 How you ask?
 As I told you before they were all poor, and impoverished.
 The local magistrates ran a trial against Sarah Good, Sarah
Osborne, and Tituba . This trial started on March1,1692.
 Both Good, and Osborne claimed to be innocent. Unlike Tituba
who confessed to the magistrates that “The Devil came to me and
bid me serve him”. She described images of black dogs, red cats,
yellow birds, and a “black man” who wanted her to sign a type of
book.
 The magistrates put all of the 3 women in jail.
AND
THE
KILLING
 On May 27,
1692 Governor
William
Phipps created the Special
BEGINS……..
Court of Oyer (to hear)
and Terminer ( to decide) that was only for
the Suffolk, Essex, and Middlesex countries.
 On June 10 the first hanging occurred. That persons name was
Bridget Bishop. Bridget was also the first person to be questioned.
SALEM WAS A MESSED UP VILLAGE!!! AND
DEFINALTLEY PARANOID!!!
 Soon after that one hanging, 5 people were executed in July, then
5 in August, and then 8 in September.
 Governor Phipps son (Increase Mather) begs
THE KILLING STOPS
his father to stop questioning after his own
wife got questioned.
 Phipps released a lot of the accused people,
and Stopped the Court of Oyer and Terminer.
 He changed it to the Superior Court of
Judicature. This court didn’t allow spectral
(spiritual, ghostly, etc.) evidence.
 By May 1693 Phipps let all charges go for
all of the accused in jail.
Many innocent lives were
lost because of clueless
people’s paranoia.
19 people were hanged.
A 71 yr. old man was
crushed to death by rocks.
Several people died in jail.
About 200 people were
accused of being witches.
