One theory that attempts to explain the affliction states the the particularly damp fall allowed Ergot fungus to grow on the wheat and rye that would feed Salem over the winter, when the afflictions began. Ingesting Ergot causes Ergotism, the symptoms of which included hallucinations and stiffness in the limbs.
It is hard to validate this theory, seeing as if it was a fungus on grain, the affliction would have sprung up in entire households and not sporadically with one of two people from each house.
