The Salem Witch Trials, which began in 1692 (also known as the Salem witch hunt and the Salem witchcraft episode), resulted in a number of convictions and executions for witchcraft in both Salem Village and Salem Town, Massachusetts. It was the result of a period of factional infighting and Puritan witch hysteria which led to the deaths of 20 people (14 women, 6 men) and the imprisonment of 150 more people.

Fourteen women. But there were men, too. The trials resulted in the death of "twenty people (14 women, 6 men) and the imprisonment of 150 more."

i think like only 20 were actually killed with like 150 ish being jailed...but I don't know if that number is true. I would think with all the hysteria of the time, others were involved...off the record or something
