The diseases of astonishment
That old deluder
The working of wonders
One of you is a devil
The wizard
A suburb of hell
Now they say there is above seven hundred in all
In these hellish meetings
Our case is extraordinary
Published to prevent false reports
That dark and mysterious season
A long train of miserable consequences.

Summary
It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment when women played the central role in American history. In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic.
