SALEM WITCH TRIALS
AND THE POWER OF FEAR
Wednesday, October 30, 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Age 21 & up $5
Come and hear some spooky history of one of the famous
Salem Witch Trials. In 1692, a group of teenage girls began
having bizarre and disturbing fits. They claimed that
witches in the community were persecuting them and
began naming names, accusing first the poor and
vulnerable, and then the wealthy and respectable. In the
following months fear gained the upper hand and legal
safeguards went out the window. During the course of
things, twenty people were executed. This lecture,
presented by history instructor and continuing education
professor Joyce Haworth, lays out the true story of one of
the strangest and most painful episodes in American
history. Presentation takes place at the Cary Park District
with transportation from Village Hall via LITH 14passenger bus. Light refreshments, coffee, and water will
be served. Registration deadline is October 23 and no
refunds will be issued after the deadline.
