What I know about Salem is that in a past lifetime I used to live in those times and-although all of my family was into Witchcraft, the woman I used to love, was burned, in fire. Also, I liked the articles you have shared with us, keep us informed. :)

In January 1697, the Massachusetts General Court declared a day of fasting for the tragedy of the Salem witch trials; the court later deemed the trials unlawful, and the leading justice Samuel Sewall publicly apologized for his role in the process. The damage to the community lingered, however, even after Massachusetts Colony passed legislation restoring the good names of the condemned and providing financial restitution to their heirs in 1711.

Did you mean to say that in a past lifetime you lived in Salem? Or did you mean to say you lived somewhere else but in the 1600's?

Because if you meant the first then you need to know that no Witches were burned in Salem. All of the accused/convicted Witches there were hanged with the exception of Giles Corey, who was pressed to death with stones.

It is now pretty well established that none of those accused in Salem actually practiced Witchcraft. Rather it was a case of greed, money, and property and those who accused neighbors of Witchcraft for monetary gain.

As lark said the accused we're falsely accused for a sprew of propaganda and to gain for ruining another kife and sentencing innocent lives.

And the accused were hung and only one was pressed to death by snones and rocks

There was no illness. The two things that were thought might have caused the problem were ruled out. It was a simple case of greed and dislike of certain members of the community
