The Salem Witch Trials: Where the Panic Really Began | Part 1
When you hear “Salem Witch Trials,” you probably picture Salem, Massachusetts. But the panic that started it all began a few miles away in Salem Village, the community we now know as Danvers.
In Part 1 of this two-part story, we go back to 1692 to understand how unexplained fits inside one minister’s home turned into accusations, arrests and executions. From Tituba’s confession and spectral evidence to Rebecca Nurse, Giles Corey and the collapse of the trials, we follow how fear spread through an already divided community, and how Salem Village eventually became Danvers.
