And I think it's fantastic that someone not only finished their novel, but actually got publication out of it!!!<br /><br />I'm very intrigued by the research you've done on the topic...I want to read more about the entire spectacle, both in a fictional forum and legitimate history. I'm actually thinking about planning a trip out to Salem within the next year or so, I feel so disconnected from the whole thing and I really want to learn more about it.<br /><br />Thanks for the great background about the trials!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554027243298117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-52757965307050270962010-03-11T20:04:27.302-05:002010-03-11T20:04:27.302-05:00dolleygurl - I'm so glad you liked it!

Witch accusations were also a means to get rid of plight in Salem. A few of the women were also transient and often "leeched" off of their fellow neighbors or sustenance. The trials only stopped because those crazy little girls started pointing fingers at the "wrong" people, namely high members of society. By the very end of it all (summer), they accused so many people they were nearly being laughed at. Spectral evidence also became a farce by the end of the trials, leading to absolution for the accused because of lack of evidence and all around asshattery.<br /><br />Magic was an excuse. These were people fresh off of a boat from a Europe where the Inquisition was just dying down. What better way to get people to turn against someone that accuse them of witchcraft? If it got them what they wanted, they were going to do what they felt they needed to do.Donna (Bites)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12585421704517898076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-67345538343851263912010-03-11T19:54:44.787-05:002010-03-11T19:54:44.787-05:00Dwayne - One of the things that I thought quite ap...Dwayne - One of the things that I thought quite appealing about it was the way that it bounced back and forth between history and now. It was a mystery almost to the end, spanning both time periods, and really kept me feeling anxious!
