What caused the Salem Witch Trials?

*Salem Witch Trials **The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts, between February 1692 and May 1693. **In 17th century colonial North America, the supernatural was part of everyday life. **This concept emerged in Europe around the fifteenth century and spread to North America when it was colonized. **Witchcraft was then used by peasants, who invoked particular charms for farming and agriculture. **Over time, the idea of white magic transformed into dark magic and became associated with demons and evil spirits. **From 1560 to 1670, witchcraft persecutions became common as superstitions became associated with the devil. **In "Against Modern Sadducism" (1668), Joseph Glanvill claimed that he could prove the existence of witches and ghosts of the supernatural realm. Glanvill wrote about the "denial of the bodily resurrection, and the [supernatural] spirits". **Works by men such as Glanvill and Cotton Mather tried to prove to humanity that "demons were alive."

Its a contest between two. The trial of Rebbecca Nurse in which she was aqquitted, people repealed the verdict and was then proclaimed guilty. She was one of the accused who had a lot of doubt surrounding her case. The other would be the Reverand George Burroughs because he was a Puritan reverand that had worked in Salem Village and had been able to recite the Lord's Prayer, something witches supposedly couldn't do.
