What happened in the Salem witch trials?

Answer 1

Off the top of my head... When prominent people in the Salem community started being accused by those vicious little girls they sort of petered out. Wikipeadia has a good entry under "Salem Witch Trials" if you want more detail.

Answer 2

During The Salem Witch Trials people were executed because the were either proven guilty to witchcraft or confessed to Witchcraft. Many people were hanged and one person, was killed by being crushed by stones. It was a harsh time but now it is over.

EDIT:

No one who confessed was executed. They were offered a pardon in return for testimony against others.

Only 19 people were hanged, making it the least deadly witch panic in history.
