Here are some good sources.
Make sure your keywords are spelled correctly when you do your research. It's "salem witch TRIALs".
Good luck with the essay!

It is my understanding that during very wet years in new England, there was a mold that grew on barley. Eating the grain apparently resulted in strange behavior that resembled demonic possession. Apparently, young girls that lived outside town and harvested the grain were most likely to be affected, as cooking killed the spores. Apparently one of the tests given to prove possession was to get a dog to drink the urine of the person in question. I read somewhere that this mold would be passed to the urine and would provide a positive dog test. Hows that for a cause - spooky eh? check the internet - you should find some more info.
good luck

Do some proper research.
Don't plagiarize from Wikipedia or any other online source (plagiarism is cutting and pasting another's words and passing them off as your own).
Get started earlier when your teacher sets an assignment and take it seriously.
It's true what they say about working in Wendy's/KFC/McD's - all those people took the easy ride at school. Can I have fries with that?

Did you know that women were not allowed to pratice medicine or go to medical school, and a lot of women prosecuted as wiches were in fact women practicing medicine without a license and therefor deemed witches?(herbal medicine by the way).
just another tidbit in the witch trials :).

it was just some kids that did not like people from the wrong side of town. it was for that reason that they accused over and over and no one stopped them because only those on right side of the tracks as it were, did not care to help them out or doubt thier own kids
