What Happened ?
As the hysteria grew around witchcraft accusations, a special court was assembled to try the accused. The first women who had to appear in front of this court were Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne and Tituba, a slave, but more and more were accused because of fear fuelled by the hysteria. The first woman to be convicted was Bridgette Bishoppe, for wearing “odd costumes” ; she was hanged on June 12th 1692. Many more people were hanged, died in prison, or were tortured, but, unlike popular belief, no one was ever burned at the stake in Salem. By September 1692, the hysteria had died down, and the last trails took place at the beginning of 1693.

The Reality
The easy way to explain mental conditions and illnesses unknown at the time, was witchcraft. The diagnosis on the girls condition was the “devil's hand” rather then any, now standard,medical issue. People at the time weren't able to detect mental illness or food poisoning which cause symptoms similar to those of the girls. Furthermore, many of the accused were outsiders who didn’t fit neatly into the very conformist society. And when hysteria happened, those people were more likely to be linked instantly with witchcraft. To sum up, witches in Salem were mostly a misunderstanding of withcraft due to the diagnosis found and the lack of advancement in medicine at the time, meanwhile the religious fanatism led to misconception of witches. -Emilie
Fction and reality
During the 14th century, witches in European illustartions were represented as evil characters with sexual behaviour. This illustrated that, until they became role models for women, they were considered as demonic and dangerous people, even more since men were afraid of their power. The Salem witch trials, the most famous persecution of witches has inspired many novels and plays, “Tituba, Salem village” or “The Crucible”. In 1692 women were wrongly accused of witchcraft and many were hanged. We have few written traces of the details of what took place during these trials, but artists, for instance in the novel « Tituba in Salemn Village », have created some dialogues and situations based on the documents we do have, also interpretating the hysteria and finding many explanations for the girls’ illness. This shows how artists have been romantizing and creating around the Salem witch trial . All the art that was produced around the Salem witch trials is feeding the myth of the witch and the folklore around this character in popular culture. - Chloé

The Context Behind the Trials
This period was known as the Salem witch trials. It was a time of great fear and suspicion
during which people actually believed that some individuals, mostly women, were practicing
witchcraft, which was seen as something directly linked to the Devil, and therefore dangerous.
Accusations of being a witch were taken very seriously, and those accused faced trials that
often led to harsh punishments, including imprisonment and often execution. The fear of
witches was fuelled by superstition, religious beliefs and social tensions. Many innocent people suffered during those dark times. -Léa

The Origins
In Salem Massachussets, in 1692, the sudden illness of a few girls from the village left everyone puzzled. At the time, medecine was far from what it is today and the villagers had no way to explain why these girls were getting ill. So, when Betty Parris and Abigail Williams, aged and 11, started having into fits and showing clear signs of illness, the village doctor could not explain their condition with bacteria or micro-organisms, which no one knew about at the time. Since the British pilgrims who had settled in Massachussets were extremely religious Puritans, the easiest way to explain those illnesses was through religion. That’s why the doctor concluded on bewitchment. -Ilana
