The girls on the left side of this photo are the ones who are thought of to be possessed by Tituba. Being a witch, the girls were thought to have been victims of her influence. They were not punished or trialed like the others were. They were brought to the court room when other men and women who were accused of witch craft were on trial. A lot of the time they would have out of mind reactions to the ones who "were really witches." They would scream, and wail, and pass out.

All of a sudden all the girls would shiver, and be covered in goosebumps or scream of being scratched and in pain and when they lifted their shirts or sleeve there were scratch marks.

There was no right way out. No one could win with this.
