About this listen

A detailed account of one of the strangest and most shocking episodes in American history, written by the author of "The Lottery".

Stories of magic, superstition, and witchcraft were strictly forbidden in the little town of Salem Village. But a group of young girls ignored those rules, spellbound by the tales told by a woman named Tituba. When questioned about their activities, the terrified girls set off a whirlwind of controversy as they accused townsperson after townsperson of being witches. Author Shirley Jackson examines in careful detail this horrifying true story of accusations, trials, and executions that shook a community to its foundations.

Crazy town! Crazy hysteria!!
Appalling account of a true crime story of the happenings in Salem village in 1692. Though it might be assumed that these kind of illogical laws were common at that time, it's supremely shocking that 2 million people were executed on the basis of these witchcraft laws!

Sheer Hysteria!
