Objective –The student will learn what happened during Salem Witch Trials.
What do you already know about witches?
Objective
Witches are “evil” people who work for the devil.
People with warts, pimples and moles were suspected.
Witches usually have imps so usually people with a lot of pets were accused.
Witches were thought to create thunder, sink ships, and kill sheep. Baaaaaa why me?
What are witches ?
Well, it started in 1692,with two girls named Elizabeth Parris and Abigail Williams.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd a slave named Tituba. Tituba told stories about voodoo, devil and
witches. She taught the girls how to mew like cats, grunt like hogs, and bark like dogs.
It was fun, but the girls pushed it too far…
How did this all start?
Info is on the next page
On Sunday’s church meeting the girls called out silly things. That is what started it all.
NOBODY COULD INTERUPT A CHURCH SERVICE EXCEPT FOR THE DEVIL.
The two girls accused poor Tituba. Then the slave confessed that she flied on
a broom. How nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did this start? cont.
When the girls realized what they have done, it was too late. People were accusing each other.
The girls couldn’t tell the truth because it was too late.
The girls also probably liked calling out in church meetings and goofing around.
Why in the world would they accuse someone?
A person complained on a “witch” . The accused person was then arrested and
put in jail. The witch was inspected and put on trail. The only hope for a person on the trial was
that the judge would not sentence him or her to death.
What happened when someone was accused?
The person claimed to be a witch was tested, usually pricked with pins ( the pricking was to
find witch marks).Another way of testing was to read the bible. Beware if you do any of these things you could
be suspected as a witch, such as singing, reading, and spending time by yourself.
The judge made the decision and the sentence was carried out.
The sheriff hanged the “witches” as the sentence said.
What happened when someone was accussed?
In 1693 the Salem Witch Trials ended with one mistake. Somebody accused Revenderes Hale’s wife.
After this nobody ever accused anybody. The colony paid money to the families of
the victims of the Salem Witch Hunt.
