The Witchcraft Winter 1692 Betty Parris (9) and Abigail Williams (11) Began to have fits Other girls began to have similar symptoms Began to accuse people Accusers and accused seemed to be from opposite sides of the Putnam Porter feud. 19 hanged one pressed to death Over 150 persons were accused After Mary (Spencer) Phips wife of Massachusetts Governor William Phips was accused the Governor forbade spectral evidence be allowed, then prohibited more arrests, and eventually dissolved the court.
Why did it happen? Girl s were caught playing a questionable game in the Parris household by Reverend Parris. And placed blame on others to avoid punishment. The girls really thought they were being attacked. Stress, panic attacks, placebo effect, rashes, high blood pressure, hindsight bias. Physical ailments Ergot fungus from grain (damp fall) Convulsions, seizures, hallucinations Women and children are more susceptible Encephalitis carried by mosquitoes Fever, headaches, confusion
Why did it happen? Started out as a game for some of the most powerless and lowest standing members in the community (young girls) to gain attention it got out of hand adults pressured the girls to tell who was tormenting them. Mary Warren said they had been making it up when it looked as if someone would hang, but the other girls turned on her so she recanted.
Why did it happen? Political conspiracy Feud between Putnams and Porters Arguing over the merging of Salem Village and Salem Town Almost all the afflicted girls were from families connected to the Putnams Reverend Parris was supported by the Putnams but the Porters were against him
Aftermath Ann Putnam confessed in 1706 that she had accused people whom now I have just grounds and good reason to believe they were innocent persons. 1711 the Massachusetts General Court reversed the judgments of 22 persons and gave financial restitution to their families.
