If you're talking about the one where people got hanged for being witches in the early history of New England, it mostly took place in Salem, Massachusetts. John Procter and Rebbecca Nurse were two of the accused and convicted that were hanged. Abigail Williams was his main accuser who years later admitted that she fabricated the story that caused all of the hysteria.
