The Salem witch trials, which occurred in Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693, were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft. The trials resulted in the executions of twenty people, most of them women. The hysteria surrounding the trials was fueled by superstition, fear, and a belief in the supernatural. The accused were often poor and marginalized members of society, making them easy targets for accusations. The trials were based on spectral evidence, which allowed the use of dreams and visions as evidence in court. The accused were presumed guilty until proven innocent, and the burden of proof fell on the accused, making it difficult for them to defend themselves.
