In 1692, in the town of Salem, Massessechuets, two young girls made claims that other members of their community were witches.
These accusations soon spiraled out of control, resulting in over 200 people being charged with witchcraft and the deaths of 20.
It remains one of the most notable cases of mass hysteria and religious intolerance in the history of the Americas.
Learn more about the Salem Witch Trials, why they happened, and their aftermath on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
