Something wicked used to be brewing within the small town of Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. It started when two girls, Betty Parris and Abigail Williams, started having hysterical fits. Soon after, other local girls claimed they were being pricked with pins. And not using a scientific explanation to be had, the residents of Salem came to one conclusion: it used to be witchcraft! Over the following year and a half, nineteen people were convicted of witchcraft and hanged at the same time as more languished in prison as hysteria swept the colony. Writer Joan Holub gives readers and inside have a look at this sinister chapter in history.
