A Delusion of Satan - The Full Story of the Salem Witch Trials

Comments
1. The witchcraft hysteria is at an all time in Salem at this point. Now anyone who crosses the girls is accused of witchcraft.
2. The examiner, John Hathorne, still never doubts that any of the accused are guilty.
3. The total amount of witches in prison is up to thirty six. Even Giles Cory, who helped send his own wife to jail, was accused.
4. There are only a few people who the Pittman’s or the girls would never dare accuse. Whole families were even accused of witchcraft.
5. The girls still say they see a man in black with a hat which is supposed to represent the devil or a man in white which represents Christ.
Questions
1. Who are the girls accusing?
2. Who are they not accusing?
3. What is the total amount of witches in jail?
4. What does the main in black represent?
Vocab
