Introduction:

The Salem Witchcraft Trials began in 1692 when nine-year-old Elizabeth Parris and eleven-year-old Abigail Williams began to exhibit strange behavior, such as blasphemous screaming, convulsive seizures, trance-like states and mysterious spells. Shortly after several other Salem girls began to act in a similar fashion.
