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 execution of 20 people, 14 of them women, and the imprisonment of many others. It is considered one of the darkest chapters in American history and a cautionary tale about the dangers of mass hysteria and the abuse of power. The trials began in the village of Salem, which was part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony at the time. The first accusations were made by a group of young girls who claimed to be possessed by witches. Their claims were taken seriously by the authorities, and a special court, known as the Court of Oyer and Terminer, was established to hear their cases.

KETCHUM, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) -A nearly 50-year-old movie theater in the Wood River Valley is weathering the storm of the COVID-19 pandemic. KMVT went behind the scenes as the owner says he is worried they could go out of business.

The Magic Lantern movie theater has existed in Ketchum for 47 years. The whole time it has been under the ownership of Rick Kessler. KMVT got a chance to sit down with him on Sunday, and he explained what the movie theater industry looks like right now.

“First one is COVID,” Kessler said. “They are scared to come here. My audience is flat out scared to come here, and then I did not have much to show them.”

He said his audience is typically the older crowd, and due to the pandemic, not many people are coming out. The health crisis has also caused a significant drop in new movie releases.

“There is nothing to drive them to the theater,” Kessler said.

New and old movies! At The Magic Lantern! Starting Wednesday November 25th we are playing Gary Olman in Mank, The Croods.

The future is unknown, but the worry is nothing new to Kessler and his business. Some movies, such as “Wonder Woman 1984,” are going to a streaming service the same day as movie theater release, Kessler believes distributors may be diminishing the value of their product, and thinks movie studios could really build up their exhibition business.

“I worried about going out of business when home video came out that was my first worry. “There is always a worry on the horizon, then a big picture comes out and you are filling the place,” Kessler said. “I can only hope that people rediscover going to the cinemas after being locked up for 10 months.”

Film

During the fall, winter, and spring, the Sun Valley Museum of Art presents documentary, independent, and international films that would not otherwise be shown locally. Films are often presented in connection to SVMoA's museum exhibitions as a way to enhance and deepen understanding of the theme or concept being explored.

Their claims were taken seriously by the authorities, and a special court, known as the Court of Oyer and Terminer, was established to hear their cases. During the trials, the accused were subjected to physical examinations, including being stripped naked and searched for marks or signs of witchcraft. They were also subjected to intense questioning and were often forced to confess under duress.

The accused were typically women, but some men, including a few prominent members of the community, were also accused. The trials were marked by a number of irregularities and injustices. There was little to no physical evidence presented, and much of the prosecution's case relied on spectral evidence, which is testimony about dreams and visions supposedly experienced by the accusers. The use of spectral evidence was highly controversial and was eventually disallowed by the colonial government, but not before several people had been convicted and executed based on it. The hysteria surrounding the trials eventually subsided, and the last witch trial in Salem was held in May 1693. In the years that followed, the surviving victims and their families sought compensation for their suffering, but it was not until 1711 that the colony officially recognized the trials as a grave miscarriage of justice. In 1957, the state of Massachusetts cleared the names of those convicted and issued a formal apology, but the legacy of the Salem witch trials continues to be felt to this day. The trials serve as a stark reminder of the dangers of fear, intolerance, and the abuse of power, and they continue to be studied and discussed by historians and scholars..
