The governor of Massachusetts, William Phips, ultimately halted the witch trials due to growing public dissent and skepticism regarding the validity of the trials and the use of spectral evidence. The increasing number of accusations, particularly against influential figures, along with the mounting pressure from the community and influential clergymen, led him to recognize the trials' detrimental impact on society. By October 1692, he disbanded the court and replaced it with a more traditional legal process, effectively ending the hysteria.
