Witchcraft in Salem refers to the widespread panic and hysteria that occurred during the Salem witch trials of 1692 in colonial Massachusetts, where a series of hearings and prosecutions took place against individuals accused of witchcraft. This period was marked by fear, superstition, and social tensions, leading to the execution of 20 people and the imprisonment of many others. The trials reflected the community's struggle with religious fervor, social instability, and a desire to find scapegoats for various problems. Today, the Salem witch trials serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of mass hysteria and the violation of civil liberties.
