Witch trials aside from Salem occurred sporadically throughout Europe and the American colonies in the Middle Ages. They included a spattering of trials in Massachusetts and Connecticut from 1648 until 1688 with the afflictions of the Goodwin children. The Salem panic and the ensuing embarassment ended the witch hunting in America. In Europe, the Pendle trials in Lancashire, England, in 1612 and the many German trials in the time period were the most significant. Pinning down the exact end of the witch hunts in Europe is not as concrete as in America, but the Enlightenment is a factor.
