Description

In 1692, young women in Salem, Massachusetts were being afflicted by something nobody could explain. They would bark, contort themselves into weird positions, and have seizures. When pressed for information they revealed there were witches among the citizens of Salem, and they were doing harm to as many residents as possible. What resulted from those accusations was over a year of torture, death, and false accusation of many innocent people. What really happened during the Salem Witch Trials. Aimee tells Aly in this week's episode of Horrific Heartland.
