In the year 1762, may 14th
The Andover witch trials began on a Thursday, specifically on August 19, 1692. This series of trials was part of the larger Salem witch trials that occurred in colonial Massachusetts during the late 17th century. The events in Andover were marked by increasing hysteria and accusations of witchcraft among the local community.
Salem, Massachusetts
People from Andover and Topsfield were tried. The trials actually originated in Salem VILLAGE which is now Danvers, Massachusetts.
Citizens of Andover and Topsfield went to Gallows Hill along with the Salem residents.
The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts, between February 1692 and May 1693. Despite being generally known as the Salem witch trials, the preliminary hearings in 1692 were conducted in a variety of towns across the province: Salem Village (now Danvers), Ipswich, Andover and Salem Town.
The Trials were conducted in the towns of Salem Village, Salem Town, Andover, and Ipswich. The accused were said to be Witches from the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Middlesex, in Massachusetts, New England.
cities involved in the Salem witch trials were Salem, denver, washinton d.c., and p-town!! EDIT: Three of those didn't exist yet. Cities and Towns involved were Salem Town, Salem Village, Andover, Topsfield, Beverly, Marblehead and Boston.
The news from Andover relates to the trials in Salem in "The Crucible" by highlighting the growing disillusionment with the witch hunts and the legal proceedings based on hysteria and false accusations. In Andover, the townspeople reject the authority of the court, reflecting a broader questioning of the legitimacy of the Salem trials. This parallel underscores the theme of mass panic and the consequences of unchecked power, which ultimately leads to the downfall of the Salem trials as well.
The American town famous for the Witch Trials (called the Salem Witch Trials) is Salem, Massachusetts.
