Salem, Massachusetts, has built a thriving industry of tourism on the foundations of its dark past. But, beneath the seaside charm, bewitching shops, and seasonal surge of witches and thrill-seekers, the ancient darkness still lurks.

• The Accusations Begin

• The First Executions
• Corey's Death by Pressing
• The Legacy of Witchcraft in Salem
• And much more!

These witches had the power to curse and terrify the citizens of the town. They also believed other creatures such as ghosts, witches' familiars, and demons, existed physically in our realm. When a few of the townsfolk of Salem started to exhibit signs such as muscular spasms or convulsions, visions, and strange behavior, it was assumed these townsfolk were cursed by witches.
