    The puzzles behind the Salem Witch Trials has astounded researchers for some eras. What was the reality behind the witch allegations? Did individuals truly trust that Salem was tormented by witches or would it say it was some sort of connivance to dispose of individuals that are not invited in the public eye? Much of the time, the individuals who were blamed were untouchables, principally ladies who didn 't fit in what they considered an ordinary way of life.
