These terrible and unbased witchcraft trials occurred in 1792 and 1793 in Salem, Massachusetts. There was a preacher named Cotton Mather who would decide some innocent girl might be a witch, whereupon he would throw her into a pond or lake. If she sunk and drowned, then he said that proved she was a witch. If she did not sink and drown, he attached a rock or other object to her and threw her back until she drowned.
