This ones for jenn
While in salem we found out that the so called "witches", most of them lived in Salem village which is now called Danvers. There was a salem town and a Salem village and they hung them on Gallows Hill and that was in the village. Salem village was the farming community. It seems the preacher got things really going for the mass hysteria, his flock (congregation)was small and he wanted it bigger, the farming community would not support him or pay his wages, he cried Satan, then kids were saying, that some of the accused came to them as spectres and made them act wild, all along they were being coerced by local law and preacher. All innocent ,a sad time for an already troubled community.
