They began when girls began having epilepsy-like fits, which were diagnosed as bewitchment. The trials ended when the governor outlawed spectral evidence, the insubstanial main evidence used in the trials, after his wife was accused.

What is a good book about Salem witch trials?

A really good book is Salem Witch. I don't know the author, but it has two sides of the story, one of the accused person, and the other of the the accuser. EDIT: That is not a good book is you want to read about the trials because its fiction. I would suggest Witch Hunt by Marc Aronson or A Fever in Salem by Laurie Carlson.
