The 3 Biggest Myths About the Salem Witch Trials

In this 1869 oil painting 'Witch Hill (The Salem Martyr)' by Thomas Satterwhite Noble, the young woman posing as a condemned witch was a descendent of one of the hanged victims.

Salem is having a moment. This past July, Massachusetts passed a lot that officially exonerated Elizabeth Johnson, Jr., the last person accused of being a witch. On Oct. 7, an exhibit opened at the New-York Historical Society—offering details on the real history of the Salem witch trials.

And then, of course, there’s Hocus Pocus 2. The sequel to the 1993 cult classic was Disney+’s biggest film premiere yet when it came out on Sep. 30. For the uninitiated, it features Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker reprising their roles as 17th-century witches who find themselves in modern-day Salem.

All of this speaks to a broader public fascination with the Salem witch trials. According to Emerson Baker, author of A Storm of Witchcraft: The Salem Trials and the American Experience, 156 people were formally charged with witchcraft—mostly women. Between June and September 1692, 19 people were hanged to death for the crime, and one was pressed to death by a rock. Five more died in prison between May 1692 and May 1693. Additionally, at least 120 were imprisoned for a year or more.

Joseph Glanvill's 1700 wordcuts 'Saducismus Triumphatus' aim to depict a rebuttal to any skepticism about the existence of witchcraft.

But this history is often misunderstood, much like the women who were accused of being witches were misunderstood. While people are not being put on trial for being witches in 2022, Baker sees the shadows of witch hunts in some of our modern-day paranoia—“Salem moments,” as he calls them. “Extremism, scapegoating, racism, hatred, bigotry—as long as we have that, we’re going to have some version of witch hunts,” he says.

Below, Baker outlines three of the biggest myths about the Salem witch trials.

Reviews for "Destiny Witch Queen Release Date: What We Know So Far"

1. Sarah - 1 star

As a fan of the "Destiny" series, I was extremely disappointed with the delayed release date of "Destiny Witch Queen." The anticipation was built up for months, and I had taken time off work to fully immerse myself in the game upon its release. However, with the sudden delay, I am left feeling frustrated and let down. Bungie should have communicated better and given their loyal fans more notice. This lack of transparency reflects poorly on the company and I am now questioning my future support for the franchise.

2. Mark - 2 stars

The constant delays and changing release dates for "Destiny Witch Queen" have taken away much of the excitement and interest I had in the game. I understand that game development is a complex process, but the lack of clarity and communication from the developers has left a sour taste in my mouth. It feels like Bungie is more interested in maximizing profits than delivering a quality product to their fans. I will think twice before investing my time and money into any future releases from them.

3. Jessica - 3 stars

While I appreciate the dedication of Bungie in ensuring a polished gaming experience, the repeated delays of "Destiny Witch Queen" have been frustrating. The initial hype and anticipation have now turned into a sense of apathy. The lack of clear communication and specific reasons for the delays have left fans feeling left in the dark. I understand that delays can happen, but Bungie needs to improve their transparency and provide a more concrete release date to regain the trust of their fanbase.
