What do you know about the Salem witch trials?

Harry Margulies They never burned a single witch.
Didn't stop them from burning hundreds of women alive.

Misty Bowman Harry Margulies They were hung in Salem.

Woodcarver Mom Harry Margulies Yes.
Women were hung, burned, drowned, and routinely killed.

Misty Bowman Harry Margulies The question was about Salem, Massachusetts. No one was burned or drowned in Salem. The accused - who refused to confess - were hung, with the exception of Giles Corey, who was pressed to death under stones.

Woodcarver Mom Misty Bowman Harry Margulies I remember reading about the hysteria in Germany during the middle ages. Towns would fear that witches were in their midst and end up burning many of their females.
I also read a book about the Knights Templar, many were burned at the stake. I think the king owed them money.
