							Salem Witch Trials of
               1692
What are the Salem Witch Trails of 1692?

• In January of 1692, the daughter and niece of Reverend
  Samuel Parris of Salem Village became ill. William
  Griggs, the village doctor, was called in when they failed
  to improve. His diagnosis of bewitchment put into motion
  the forces that would ultimately result in the hanging
  deaths of nineteen men and women.

• In addition, one man was crushed to death; several
  others died in prison, and the lives of many were
  irrevocably changed.
