When There Were Witches

The Salem Witch Trials are one of the most iconic events in United States history. Join Mickey DiCamillo, archivist and historian, as he unravels the events of 1692 when 5 young girls developed a strange illness. Because medical professionals couldn't identify the illness, the girls were believed to be possessed. Did the girls bring on the trouble themselves, or was the community casting black magic across the town?
