Salem, Massachusetts, 1692.
Are they acting or are they really tormented by an unseen evil? Whatever the cause, the nightmare has begun: The Witch Trials will eventually claim twenty-five lives, shatter the community, and forever shape the American social conscience..
Some of them expose wounds to the horrified onlookers, holding out the pins that have stabbed them -- pins that appeared as if by magic.
As the trial proceeds the girls begin to wail, tear their clothing, and scream that the woman is hurting them.
The accused is a poor, unpopular woman who had her first child before she was married.
The accusers, girls and young women, are fervent and overexcited.
In a plain meetinghouse a woman stands before her judges.
