In present times, nothing huge like this has happened, but today if you were accused of being a witch, the ACCUSERS would be thought crazy. I’m not sure what to put
in next, so here’s a picture of the cookie monster.
The accused
The accused were Mostly women who lived Alone or with very fewPeople, were loners andSeemed spiteful. There were also men however, and I want to
share with you some individual cases.
Rebecca Nurse John Proctor Cotton Mather
To The Menu
Rebecca Nurse
Rebecca moved to salem in 1640, and she and her family got into a dispute with a family for land. She was accused of witchcraft and put to death by hanging.
Back to “the accused”
John Proctor
John Proctor was a wealthy farmer in salem during the trials. He was accused because he was against the trials, and people thought he must be guilty himself. He was sentenced to death by chocolate. (Hanging, just kidding!)
Back to “the accused”
Cotton Mather
He played a role in witchcraft being accused widespread. He diagnosed a young girl who was having fits of hysteria with being possessed, and that there was going to need to be an exorcism.

The Trials
How they were found guilty
The accusers
Back to the menu
The accusers
The accusers were young girls who said that they saw dark figures that were hurting them, or that the witch themselves did it.
Back to the trials
How they were proven guilty
They were never really proven, but The young girls who accused flipped out and had fits on the floor and said that the “witch” was tormenting her.
Back to the trials
The Punishments
Hanging
Imprisonment
Crushing
Back to the menu
Crushing
They would place you on the ground and pile stones onto you and left you there and every day added more weight. John Pactor was the only one ever during the witch trials to be crushed. His famous last words were “More Weight.”
Back to the punishments
Imprisonment
Obviously, you were put into jail, and if you tried to escape, you would be cobbled or put to death.
Back to the punishments
hanging
They would tie a rope to a tree, tie a noose, and put the “witches” head into the loop, and throw them out of the tree.
Back to the punishments
Goodbye!!!
