In 1692, a few paranoid Puritans accused their neighbors of being witches sending the town flying off the (broomstick) handle. Before it was all over, dozens of women in Salem, Massachusetts were executedburned at the stake. RIGHT?
WRONG! There was some serious witch worry, but no one in the United States was put on a pyre (though the truth isn''t much better). And women werent the only ones caught in crossfire…maybe dont read this one aloud to your dog.
What really happened? The truth is historians arent totally sure. But it is certain that religious beliefs, a changing world, and a few super nosy neighbors collided to spell disaster for one New England town. No joke!
