In 1692 more than 150 people would be accused of witchcraft, and 25 would die in the Salem witch hunt. The trials cast a long shadow over Salem, a legacy that remains with us today. This talk will explore the “perfect storm” of factors ranging religious discord to political factionalism and the worst weather of the century to create the greatest witch hunt in American history.
