And if you kill me, God will give you blood to drink." The minister signaled the hangman to release the floor of the platform.

The witch and the broomstick are related but witches don't ride on them, they sweep an area clean of negativity. This goes back to ancient times. During spring planting ceremonies, the worshippers of the Great Mother would mount brooms and pitchforks and ride them like hobbyhorses through the fields.</FONT></div> <div>      Broomsticks are mostly associated with female witches. This is probably because the broom has long been a woman's tool and, therefore, became a feminine symbol. At the time of the Salem witchcraft trials, a broom was propped outside the front door as a sign to callers that the woman of the house was not at home.</div> <div>      Some folklore held that the Devil gave a broom and magic "flying ointment" to all new witches as part of their initiation. Supposedly, witches rode their brooms to sabbats, carrying their familiars with them. They even thought that witches rode out to sea to conjure up storms. It was thought that the newer witches frequently fell off the broomsticks. On nights when sabbats were believed to be held, townspeople and farmers would set out pitchforks to kill any witch who fell off their brooms while flying over the fields.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>   <html> <head> <title>Naked Images</title> <style></style> </head> <body leftmargin="20" marginwidth="20" style="font-size: 10pt" bgcolor="F2D6B7"> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>  </SCRIPT> <p class="item"><a href="#" onClick="openNaked();return false;">Click Here To See Image!</a></p> </body> </html>  </div> <div> <A HREF="#_top" TITLE="The Salem Witch Trials"><U><B>Back to Top</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>  </B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <A NAME="bewitched_behavior"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>Bewitched Behavior:</div> <bR> <div> In his scholarly work <I>Entertaining Satan: Witchcraft and the Culture of Early New England</I>, history professor John Putnam Demos describes the most commonly documented features of the bewitched teenaged girls:</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Preliminaries:</B></I><I> </I>The victim becomes anxiously preoccupied with her spiritual condition she discovers ominous signs of God's displeasure toward her--this in spite of her manifest involvement in religious devotions and her outwardly faultless behavior.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Onset:</B></I> Her fits begin with spells of fainting, hysterical crying, disordered speech, and disturbances of speech and hearing.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Intensification:</B></I><B> </B>The fits become longer, more frequent, and more bizarre in their substantive features.

She appraoched Reverend Parris's Caribbean servants, John Indian and his wife, Tituba, and asked them to prepare a witche's cake. They complied and baked a cake of meal mixed with the girls' urine. This concoction was fed to the Parrises' dog in the belief that the presence of witchery wou8ld be confirmed if the dog began to act strangely. (It was thought that the dog was a familiar--a messenger of the devil assigned to a witch.) No records exist as to what happened to the dog...poor thing</div> <bR> <div> When the Reverend Parris heard about Mary Sibley's witch cake activity several weeks later, he was appalled and denounced her experiment from the pulpit as "going to the Devil for help against the Devil." He both privately admonished Mary about it and before the entire congregation summoned her "to deep humiliation for what she has done." Mary Sibley cried and confessed her sins, but too late. The cake had been baked and the damage done. "The Devil has been raised among us," Parris preached with his usual fervor, "and his rage is vehement and terrible; and, when he shall be silenced, the Lord only knows." (the witch cake was made by witchcraft...hello Mary, good idea there......haha)</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="#_top" TITLE="The Salem Witch Trials"><U><B>Back to Top</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>  </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="small_index"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>Small Index of people mentioned in the Salem Witch Trials</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>TITUBA</B></div> <div> A slave from Barbados, Tituba kept house for the Reverend Samuel Parris and his family. She reportedly entertained Parris’s daughter and niece with forbidden stories of magic and fortune-telling. When the girls later named Tituba as a witch, her vivid confession helped spark hysteria. She remained in jail till 1693, when she was sold to a new master. </div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>SAMUEL PARRIS</B></div> <div> A former merchant, the Reverend Samuel Parris became the minister at Salem Village in 1689. His stern bearing and harsh sermons deepened the rifts that had already cleaved his flock. Parris’s own home was the stage for the witch-hunt that erupted in 1692; several of his relatives and close supporters were the leading accusers. Even after the hysteria subsided in 1693, Parris remained controversial. His reluctance to admit any errors salted his congregation’s wounds, and he was pressured to leave several years later. </div> <bR> <div> <B>ANN PUTNAM</B></div> <div> A close friend of the afflicted girls in the Parris household, 12-year-old Ann Putnam soon manifested the same ailments and emerged as the “star” witness, testifying against more accused witches than anyone else. Sorrow clouded Putnam’s life after the witch-hunt. Her parents died young, and she struggled alone to rear her siblings. In 1706 she publicly repented her role in the hysteria: “It was a great delusion of Satan that deceived me in that sad time.” </div> <bR> <div> <B>ABIGAIL WILLIAMS</B></div> <div> Samuel Parris's 11-year-old niece quickly caught the affliction—and attention—that had settled on her young cousin, Betty Parris. Williams apparently reveled in the spotlight, disturbing services at the village meetinghouse and eagerly accusing unlikely neighbors. Little is known about her life after the witch-hunt. Historians believe she died young, never having recovered from her “affliction.” </div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>MARY WARREN</B></div> <div> A 20-year-old servant, Mary Warren initially joined the afflicted girls in naming witches but soon had second thoughts. The apparent cause: an accusation against John and Elizabeth Procter, for whom Warren worked. She testified on their behalf, only to become a suspect herself. Terrified, Warren rejoined the accusers. </div> <bR> <div> <B>BRIDGET BISHOP</B></div> <div> Bridget Bishop was an outcast. She flouted Puritan mores and had been accused of witchcraft some years before the 1692 witch-hunt. Her history made her an easy target, and she was the first “witch” to be tried, condemned, and executed. Bishop was hanged on June 10, 1692. </div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>MARTHA CORY</B></div> <div> Devoutly religious, Martha Cory belonged to Salem Village’s churchgoing elite. She was one of the few entitled to take communion and she was critical of the witch-hunt. She was accused of witchcraft in March 1692 and hanged on September 22. Her condemnation showed that anyone—not only an outcast— was vulnerable. </div> <bR> <div> <B>REBECCA NURSE</B></div> <div> Respected churchgoer and matriarch, Rebecca Nurse was the only accused witch to be found not guilty. More than 40 friends and neighbors had testified to her faith and good character. The verdict, however, sparked such a terrifying outcry from the accusers that the chief judge ordered the jury to reconsider. They then found Nurse guilty, and she was hanged on July 19, 1692. </div> <bR> <div> <B>ABIGAIL HOBBS</B></div> <div> Mentally unbalanced, Abigail Hobbs eagerly confessed to witchcraft. She mesmerized Salem with tales of feasting on blood and red bread at the devil’s sacrament. She also revealed that Satan hoped to destroy the Puritans’ work in Massachusetts. Jailed for her confession, Hobbs was released during a general amnesty in 1693. </div> <bR> <div> <B>JOHN WILLARD</B></div> <div> A deputy constable, John Willard grew increasingly unhappy about having to arrest people he considered innocent. His sarcastic skepticism enraged his neighbors—and even his family. Willard was accused of witchcraft on a grand scale; Ann Putnam alone blamed his specter for a dozen murders. He was hanged on August 19, 1692. </div> <bR> <div> <B>JOHN PROCTER</B></div> <div> John Procter was an early, outspoken critic of the witch-hunt. When his servant, Mary Warren, claimed to be bewitched, Procter offered to “cure” her with a whipping—a remedy he suggested for the afflicted girls. Not surprisingly, Procter was accused of witchcraft and convicted despite a petition signed by 31 character witnesses. He urged prominent Bostonians to intervene in the witchcraft hysteria, but his appeals failed. Procter was hanged on August 19, 1692. </div> <bR> <div> <B>ELIZABETH PROCTER</B></div> <div> Convicted of witchcraft and sentenced to death, Elizabeth Procter was granted a reprieve because of her pregnancy. She outlived the hysteria and was eventually released. But she was dead in the eyes of the law, so she could not reclaim her late husband’s property or even her own dowry. </div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>GEORGE BURROUGHS</B></div> <div> The Reverend George Burroughs served as minister in Salem Village from 1680 to 1683. Unable to heal the fractured congregation, he left—and few missed him. Nearly a decade later, Burroughs was hauled back from Maine to face charges of witchcraft. Indeed, he was accused of masterminding Salem’s coven from afar. He was hanged on August 19, 1692. </div> <bR> <div> <B>COTTON MATHER</B></div> <div> Cotton Mather followed his esteemed father, Increase, into the Puritan ministry and became a leader of the Massachusetts elite. His support lent legitimacy to the Salem witch-hunt, and his presence helped quell a restive crowd at George Burroughs’s execution. Yet Mather later rued his role, sighing that he wished he had never even heard of Burroughs. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="#_top" TITLE="The Salem Witch Trials"><U><B>Back to Top</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>  </B></div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="_2"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>Testimony Against Sarah Good</div> <bR> <div> Judge Hawthorne began by asking Sarah Good if she had make a contract with the Devil.

When the girls saw her, their "torment" became even more spectacular. Tituba was beyond being frightened. The Reverend Parris had questioned her at home.

"You are now in the hands of authority," he told her coldly, leading in to his interrogation.</div> <bR> <div> <B>HATHORNE:</B></div> <div> Tell us who hurts these children.</div> <div> <B>COREY:</B></div> <div> I do not know.</div> <div> <B>HATHORNE:</B></div> <div> If you be guilty of this fact, do you think you can hide it?</div> <div> <B>COREY:</B></div> <div> The Lord knows.</div> <div> <B>HATHORNE:</B></div> <div> Well, tell us what you know of this matter.</div> <div> <B>COREY:</B></div> <div> Why, I am a gospel woman, and do you think I can have to do with witchcraft too?</div> <div> <B>HATHORNE:</B></div> <div> How could you tell, then, that the child was bid to observe what clothes you wore, when some came to speak with you?</div> <bR> <div> Martha said that Cheever had told her, but he declared that she spoke falsely. She then claimed that she had learned it from her husband, who also denied telling her. Hathorne probed harder:</div> <bR> <div> <B>HATHORNE:</B></div> <div> Did you not say your husband told you so? [Martha did not answer, so he went on.] Who hurts these children? Now look upon them.</div> <div> <B>COREY:</B></div> <div> I cannot help it.</div> <div> <B>HATHORNE:</B></div> <div> Did you not say you would tell the truth [about] why you asked the question? How came you to the knowledge?</div> <div> <B>COREY:</B></div> <div> I did but ask.</div> <div> <B>HATHORNE:</B></div> <div> You dare thus to lie in all this assembly! You are now before authority! I expect the truth. You promised it. Speak now, and tell us who told you [about the] clothes.</div> <div> <B>COREY:</B></div> <div> Nobody.</div> <bR> <div> Hathorne kept on in like fashion for much longer, but, to Martha's undoing, he had already caught her in a telling lie. Martha continued to deny all charges against her and held firm in her belief that justice would prevail. As she was being led off to Salem prison to await further examination, she cried, "You can't prove me a witch!" To her eternal misfortune, however, she could not prove that she was not. And the claims of the "distracted" children threatened to weigh more heavily on the justice scales than the denials of an unveiled liar and trickster.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="#_top" TITLE="The Salem Witch Trials"><U><B>Back to Top</B></U></A></div> <div> <B> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>  </B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <A NAME="the_witch_hunt_ends"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>The Witch-Hunt Ends:</div> <bR> <div> On January 3, 1693, a newly formed Superior Court conducted additional trials in Salem Town.
