Salem is definitely a spooky, haunted place, even today! Good research and good hub. What a shame. These people were wrongly accused and wrongly executed! MM

Ironic that there was an article on Yahoo news today saying that executions for Witch craft worldwise were on the rise. Strange that 300 years later and we still haven't learnt a thing. Good hub, I have always found Salem trials interesting.

I am always interested in reading about the salem witch trials. So unjust, but it just shows how easily people can be scared into hysteria and do unthinkable things such as hang innocent people. It also is proof that one must always be certain of fair and just trial. Thank you for the hub
