 The Victims 


 

William Griggs diagnosed bewitchment which sparked the forces that would in the end result in the death by hanging. There were nineteen men and women hanged, seventeen died in prison, one man was pressed to death, and many lives were changed forever. Ten women who were confined without trial crafted an appeal. Every victim was a horrific unfortunate tragedy of the Salem Witch Trials. Below is a list the dates of the victims’ death and how they died.
