In 1692 in a town in Salem, Massachuetts, nineteen men and women were convicted of witchcraft and then hanged in Gallows Hill. Some were jailed without trials. On Febuary of the same year three young girls got sick. Doctors could not find the cause or the cure so they believed they were cursed. The three girls named Sarah Good, Sarah Osborn, and Tituba who was a Caribbean slave was accused of witchcraft.
In the following month, Tituba admitted to the accusations because she could not bear the suffering of pain and torture. Tituba had been known to tell the girls stories of omen's voodo and witchcraft from her native forklore. Others soon followed the accusers. Other villiagers came up with strange stories of animals born with deformedities
