The Salem witch trials took place in Salem, Massachusetts, in what is now the United States, in 1692. A total of at least 25 people were sentenced to death and many others imprisoned. The witch-hunts were caused by the strange behavior of some villagers and the witch hysteria of the Puritans, which resulted in the deaths of a total of 20 people (14 women and six men). It is one of the most famous witch hunts and events in the history of the English settlements in North America.
