I think honestly that these girls decided to pretend that they were seeing the devil or ghosts for attention. Maybe they weren't getting enough love or attention at home so they saw this as a way for people to have pity for them or to notice them.

I feel like when one person is afraid or fearful of something, others start to feel the same way. People feed off of others energy in fearful situations which just builds and builds and adds more stress.

I also think that they were bored back then. They didn't have anything to do so they were just messing around for fun not knowing people would call them witches.

I think this was also caused by boredom. Girls weren’t really allowed to do anything and found joy out of lying/ doing weird things.

I agree with Savvy and Ilya. I believe they were bored and wanted attention, so they started doing "crazy" things for attention and to get the town all stirred up.

I believe that it's true that people feed off of one another's feelings. So if people were afraid that there were witches around them then that fear would be spread among other people.

Damarion  I believe the girls were also bored because they also didn't have motivation to do anything nor did they have the rights to do the things they wanted, so they did these things for attention.

I agree with Savvy, those girls just wanted attention and thats why they did all that crazy stuff.

I think that the girls wanted to be involved in something and wanted to have the power for once. Men during this time had all the power and woman were kind of looked down upon. So i think the girls wanted to rebel and take charge.

I think they did it simply because they had nothing better to do but they might've not realized what they were doing or the scale of their choices until it was to late. I think it was all just a game to them.

Isabel - I believe the boredom and guilt caused these girls to go into fits for the reason of not being able to do much. And maybe the girls also liked having the power to determine things on their own.

I believe that the guilt of not following the rules and getting caught is getting to them so they are acting out so people feel bad for them and give them attention.

I think that the girls just want to do something "exciting". They thought that this would go always. But eventually it didnt so they had to continue lying.

I think the girls living a high religious society caused them to think with stress and fear that witches were real . It might have triggered an delusion.

The girls who were bewitched that experienced distress because they were living in a religious society may have caused them to go through hysteria and create a delusion to all the villagers in their minds.

I think the girls just did it because they were bored and had nothing to do. When they realized it was wrong it was to late.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the girls did it because of being bored since during that time there wasn't that much to do especially for women. So once they saw they got attention out of it they continued to do it until the very end

I think that they were bored and when they realized how much trouble it caused they felt guilty afterwards

They were most likely bored which made them do what they did. But the consequences came later as well as the guilt.
