Best Answer

Two young girls started the whole thing through their strange behaviors: the daughter, Betty, and the niece, Abigail Williams, of the Salem Village minister, Reverend Samuel Parris.

In saying "thought of", you suggest that the Salem trials are a work of fiction. They are in no way thought up.
