It was more than likely mass hysteria, fear of the unknown, superstition, and the same sort of nonsense beliefs that caused the execution of about 45,000 people to be killed as witches and warlocks in Medieval Europe. The people in Salem, Massachusetts were related to the same Europeans that killed those 45,000 innocent human beings. Today, ordinary innocent people in certain parts of the world, mainly Africa and Asia, are suspected of being witches and warlocks, and often killed as a result.
