Inhalt:
It all began with nine girls. The year was 1692, and the girls lived in the little town of Salem Village, Massachusetts. Nearly every day they listened to a West Indian woman tell stories of her homeland, stories about forbidden things - magic, superstition, and witchcraft. Soon the villagers noticed the girls acting strangley nervous. When they asked what was wrong, the girls said that witches were tormenting them. And that the witches were their neighbors! Before it was all over, one innocent person after another was tried, convicted, and hanged in one of the most horrifying episodes in American history.
