No. The trials have been linked by historians to the painful changes that Puritan society was experiencing at the time. Torn between the communal asceticism of their original goals and the commercial individualism that was starting to happen some responded with guilt and fear. They sought scapegoats that they could blame their moral loss. Salem Village had a history of bitter factionalism and resentment toward the more prosperous Salem Town which controlled the village politically. Many of the people chosen for trial were the outcasts and loners of the town/village. Many of the women were alone and had no male support.

It was witchcraft. That caused hysteria..----------------One of the theories i read about was that the wet fall weather caused the wheat to get moldy. The wheat was a staple crop for the people at that time. By eating the tainted wheat some folks reacted by seeing hallucinations which caused them to believe that witches were casting spells on them.EDIT:The wheat did not get moldy. The theory is that Ergot, a fungus, was growing on the wheat and in the damp winter it spread. It can cause hallucinations. Mold does nothing.Another theory is that the afflicted contracted Encephalitis. It is a disease that affects the nervous systerm, including the brain, which can lead to convulsions and hallucinations.with craft & painted wheat.Complete fabrication, encephalities, ergotism and town-village tensions.Possible causes include Ergotism, Encephalitis, MPD and village-town tensions.Fear is one possible cause.
