The legal trials were standard to the era. Groups of accused (five in most cases, eight in one and a single person in the only exception) were sent in front of a panel of judges headed by William Stoughton. Those judges listened to the wails of the afflicted and nearly immediately pronounced each guilty. Except for Rebecca Nurse, who was deemed innocent and then the reaction of the crowd forced a reconsideration.

What tragedy occurred in Mrs Putnam's life?

Mrs. Putnam's life is marked by the tragic loss of seven of her eight children, who died in infancy or early childhood. This profound grief drives her to seek explanations for their deaths, leading her to believe in witchcraft as a cause. Her desperation fuels her paranoia and desire for revenge, particularly against those she suspects of witchcraft, including Rebecca Nurse. This personal tragedy significantly shapes her actions and motivations throughout the Salem witch trials.


Who was the last person to die in the Salem witch trials?

According to the official records, eight persons (seven of them women) were hanged on September 22, 1682, the last group executed following the trials. They were Mary Eastey, Martha Corey, Ann Pudeator, Samuel Wardwell, Mary Parker, Alice Parker, Wilmot Redd, and Margaret Scott. Two other women were pregnant and so not executed : Abigail Faulkner died in prison but Elizabeth Proctor survived and was later exonerated.
