Product Description:

While many theories exist for the erratic behavior that inspired the Salem witch trials of the 17th century, no one is certain as to what caused the hysteria. IN SEARCH OF HISTORY - SALEM WITCH TRIALS examines several of these theories while providing some historical context for the trials themselves. Leading to the death of 20 innocent men and women, the Salem witch trials are simply the most famous in a long history of similar accusations that have occurred in countries like England. This History Channel program looks at possible reasons for the supposedly cursed girl's tantrums, and paints a revealing portrait of 17th century New England as a place fraught with anxiety and religious tension.
