Like wild fire. [obvious but apt]
A witched pot over boils? silly I know]
Flammable are the roots of all evil?
If the jury won't agree, try and fry again.
And, seriously, chalk it up to "sermantics" and "Mass malaria."
EDIT:
Salem wasn't in the middle of nowhere. It shared borders with other towns. News of the affliction and witches in Salem crossed the borders easily. Those towns that spread it to their other neighbors and so on and so forth.
There are far more than two causes to that debacle. Two causes, as you asked for, are King Philips War and a smallpox epidemic.
A complete list of names does not exist and if it did it would be far too long to fit into this box. The closest to complete would be on the University of Virginia website.
The events in Salem, MA, of 1692 offer little significance to the history of literature. The trials are important, however, as a window into myriad social distresses. The powerlessness of young, unmarried women, land disputes, and the theocratic government of the time all came together to create ghastly injustice. Arthur Miller, the playwright of The Crucible, which is about the Salem Witch Trials, considered the events uniquely rooted in basic plot structure; a beginning, middle, and end were self-evident. Other than this insight, no literary value can be vouched for.
It could have been prevented if the one who knew of the groups activities had told the truth despite the threats to accuse his/her family if she had told about them. Some say it was Sussana English who knew though they arent sure
Unlike most accused witches, she didn't possess all the traits that usually defined a witch. Most prominent was her wealth and status. Both far exceeded those of a standard witch. That being said, that was not unusual for the Salem outbreak. Many of the victims lacked one or more of the key traits of the public idea of a witch.
As far as scientist know, 0. The Salem Witch Trials, however, was a time when people were accused of being witches and were killed.

It doesn't. Child abduction wasn't really a thing in the colonies. Communities were closer and children didn't stray far from home.
Far. Lizzy Borden lived in Fall River, Massachusetts. The Salem Witch Museum is in Salem, Massacusetts. Fall Rivers in 90ish miles south from Boston. Salem's 45ish miles north from Boston. I live in Eastern Massachusetts, so I have first hand expirence with that trip.
It wouldn't be. If it can't be proven, it is too far beyond reasonable doubt to work with. It would be closest to witness testimony, but witnesses don't usually describe spirits.
As far as I know they are fictional, featured in the movie "The Covenant." Ipswich, however, is a real place, located in Essex County, MA, not real far from Salem and Danvers (the latter, known as "Salem Village" in 1692, was where the Salem Witch Trials took place, not Salem proper). It's a nice town. My own ancestors were among the original settlers in the early 17th century and I know of no stories of certain families having magical powers.

Peabody borders Salem

It is 14.9 miles from Monmouth Oregon to Salem Oregon.
