The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. The trials resulted in the executions of twenty people, fourteen of them women, and five of them men. One man, Giles Corey, was pressed to death for refusing to plead, and at least five people died in jail. It was the deadliest witch hunt in the history of colonial North America. The trials were pretrial examinations conducted in a variety of court-related settings, including: the meeting house in the Village of Salem, courthouse in Salem Town, and various private homes. The trials were conducted by the Court of Oyer and Terminer, a panel of judges including Thomas Newton, William Stoughton, Bartholomew Gedney, Nathaniel Saltonstall, Waitstill Winthrop, John Richards, Samuel Sewall, Stephen Sewall and Isaac Addington.

He felt like he was only there to serve as a romantic partner, his story complex to make their romance complicated, but it didn t really endear me to him. Six Feet Deep Dish is a delicious cozy mystery with some great characters, an intriguing setting, and the promise of more twisting and turning mysteries.

Book Reviews: The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie by Rachel Linden + Six Feet Deep Dish by Mindy Quigley
One of my favorite things in books is food. I’m on the end of the spectrum where I prefer to make the food than eat it, but I mostly love gobbling up the culinary delights that can be found in the pages of a book. All the better if the book has recipes! Today I have reviews for two books that feature food, specifically lemon pie and pizza, but definitely not a lemon pizza pie. One left me wanting and the other left me hungry for more.
The four sessions of the Superior Court of Judicature in 1693, held in Salem Town, but also in Ipswich, Boston, and Charlestown, produced only three guilty verdicts in the more than fifty witchcraft trials they conducted. There were several reasons for the witch hunt in Salem. Salem, Massachusetts was still a young and growing town, and many tensions arose as a result of the diverse population. There were also religious tensions, as Salem had strong Puritan beliefs and anyone not adhering to those beliefs was considered a threat. Additionally, there was a general fear of the unknown and a belief in the supernatural, which contributed to the belief in witches and witchcraft. The witch hunt in Salem is a dark chapter in American history, but it is also a reminder of the dangers of mass hysteria and the importance of a fair and just legal system. It serves as a cautionary tale to future generations, reminding us of the danger of allowing fear and ignorance to prevail over reason and justice..

2. Sarah - 2 stars
"Fai4y witch salem ma" had potential, but it fell flat for me. The special effects were mediocre, and the storyline felt disjointed. It seemed like there were too many ideas thrown together without a clear direction. I also found the dialogue to be cheesy and forced. It's a shame because I had high hopes for this film.
3. Michael - 2.5 stars
I found "Fai4y witch salem ma" to be underwhelming. The pacing was off, and the film dragged on for longer than necessary. The acting was mediocre at best, with some performances feeling forced and unnatural. The plot had potential, but it lacked depth and originality. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied with this film.
4. Emily - 1.5 stars
"Fai4y witch salem ma" was a poor attempt at a horror film. The scares were predictable and cliché, and I found myself getting bored halfway through. The characters were one-dimensional, and I couldn't find any reason to care about their fates. The film relied too heavily on jump scares and lacked any real substance. I would not recommend watching this movie.
