The hangings during the Salem Witch Trials ceased after September 22, 1692, primarily due to growing public skepticism and criticism of the trials' legitimacy. Increasingly, influential figures, including Increase Mather, expressed concerns over the use of spectral evidence and the fairness of the proceedings. This shift in public opinion, along with the intervention of Governor Phips, ultimately led to the dissolution of the special court and the end of the executions.
