The document summarizes the Salem Witch Trials that took place in 1692 in Massachusetts. Accused witches were often tortured into false confessions and those making accusations had motives to do so. The process involved arrests, examinations under torture, grand jury indictments, trials and punishments like hanging if found guilty. Tituba was influential in accusing others to escape her own hanging. Sarah Good was an accused witch disliked in the community. By 1693 the trials slowed as educated elites worked to end the hysteria and innocent people being killed as realization set in. In total, 19 were executed, 4 died in prison, over 100 were arrested and 2 dogs were also executed.
