During this event in the 1600's, people were being accused of being witches and being able to do supernatural things. To the regular people living in the time this seems very worrisome because there are people that have special abilities living around them. They think of this "witches" as higher ups who can control them which obviously would cause fear in anyone who had to live with constant worrying. Although these people did not really have special abilities, people of the time did not know this and believed it so to them it was real. These people were even taken to court and put on trial as they truly thought these individuals were the cause of many bad things that were going on. They were accused of doing things such as putting curses on babies. To have even a thought that your baby could be killed and you have no control over it would scare anyone. That's why these people were so feared and were put on trial so many times during the era.

Many people were affected by the Salem Witch Trials. About 130 people were accused of practicing witchcraft and about 20 were killed because of it. The trials started off with a few accusations toward women who people suspected of practicing witchcraft. After a particular case against the well-known Martha Corey, "accusations began flying anew across Salem Village and taking down other respected people" (Salem Witch Trials and Executions).  During the month of April 1692, twenty-three more suspects from Salem Village and several others from neighboring villages were targeted. The first trial to take place in Salem was against a parishioner Sarah Cloyce and Elizabeth Proctor on April 11. Cloyce had sufficient evidence against herself and was condemned to death. After that, many people stepped forward to accuse high-profile people of practicing witchcraft.

The Salem witch trials begin in the early 1600s after the governor of Massachusetts deemed a woman's actions "deeply spiritual, highly intellectual, and openly critical of some clergymen's interpretations of religious doctrine" (Karlsen). The Puritans had created a similar idea as, "witchcraft [in relations to] human being and the devil" (Karlsen). At the time many men belived that the actions of women portrayed those of demons and devils and often times related them back to Satan. After making these accusation, anything that a women would do was unethical and demon like.  For many individuals, "witches were the angry, malicious, and vengeful people their neighbors said they were, and they attempted to harm their neighbors through image magic, curses, and spells" (Karlsen). To recap, during the age of the Puritans and the 1600s, many women and some men were accused of demon like actions that were associated with Satan.

The outcomes of the witch trials were 20 executed. Nineteen of them hangings, one of them tortured to death. All of them were women between the ages of twenty to eighty. The victims were wrongfully convicted and killed. Often times, the accused were wrongly accused. Those who were convicted could also be men, but men were viewed as superior, so they didn't follow through with a full trial. Women would often go through a full trial even if wrongfully accused. After the Salem Witch Trials, the colony admitted to the witch trials as mistakes and compensated for the victim's families.
