No, this is not a sick joke just to scare the wits out of you. The nickname of the city has its gruesome origin back in 1692. It was the time when a lot of people were put to death after they were adjudged as witches by the townsfolk. http://salemquarterly.com/venturing-the-witch-city http://salemquarterly.com/venturing-the-witch-city Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:48:24 GMT Have you ever heard about how people celebrate Halloween in Salem, Massachusetts? While it is a fact that their small town has gained popularity in history books through their infamous witch trials, they commemorate this event and have turned it in to an attraction each year. http://salemquarterly.com/how-salem-s-history-made-its-mark http://salemquarterly.com/how-salem-s-history-made-its-mark Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:46:12 GMT The Salem witch trials have been a controversial piece of history. This has taken place from early 1692 to 1693. According to accounts, these have begun when two young girls have experienced unprecedented fits. They have exhibited the most unusual behavior such as screaming, muttering unfathomable sounds, throwing objects around the room, crawling under furniture and contorting their bodies in to unsightly positions. They have claimed to feel pain much like that of being pricked by needles or pinching. And though they were examined by doctors, no medical conditions have been concluded. Soon after that, other young women have experienced the same episodes.
