The scare began when girls and young women in Salem village began to have epilspsy-like "fits." We don't know why those fist began. Back in the day, the girls were bewitched. Now, we think they were physically or mentallly ill or maybe were poisoned.

∙ 15y agoWitchcraft was named as Witchcraft by the ones who wanted to put it down. The practices of old Pagan religions are labled so by those who came with a new religion from Middle East. For this new intolerant religion, the old religion seemed to be evil. Because of their greed of power they wanted to remove this old religion to convert the whole population. It is easier to remove something that has an evil face. They can finally justify their crimes when they believe that Witchcraft is evil. To do all this the new religion made an evil stereotype against the old religion, and started hunting innocent Witches, and so many more.
