Sorry about taking so long, my phone rang LOL

EDIT: It may be of interest to you, some of these names have been exonerated in the past few years. Giving their descendants some small victory.

No, benitocanadian, I doubt that there were thousands of people even inhabiting Salem. There were twenty deaths, all told (14 women) executed as a result of the witch trials, although dozens more were imprisoned and as many as thirteen may have died in prison

They WERE NOT WITCHES they were Christians who got caught up in the witch hunts going on at the time. Most people who died during the "burning times" were good Christians, who pissed off a nieghbour and got wrongfully accused.

No witches actually died, it was all a hallucination from a grain in the bread that developed after a frost one winter, no one knew and everyone in town ate it and then freaked out. I can post a study later.

Actually we don't know which ones were witches and which ones were wrongfully accused. Sad really. Many of the graves were never marked and rarely ever within a cemetery.

I could probably find you a lot of names of people accused of witch craft, but it would be hard for me to believe any of them were actually witches in the sense the church meant. Many of them were accused simply because they practiced the art of homeopathic care for illnesses instead of using a traditional doctor.

Don't know but that's what mindless faith brings people to do.
