Because she was involved with the Salem witch trials.
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.
Belief in witches in England began to take root in the late medieval period, particularly from the 15th century onward. The publication of the 1487 witch-hunting manual "Malleus Maleficarum" and the increasing influence of the Protestant Reformation contributed to the witch craze. By the 16th and 17th centuries, fears of witchcraft had escalated, leading to infamous witch trials, such as the Pendle witch trials in 1612 and the infamous Salem witch trials in America, which were influenced by English beliefs.
