Salem, a town, was first settled in 1626.
Puritans arrived approximately 2 years later.
Puritans settled in Massachusetts because they
wanted to worship as they believed. They wanted
to purify the Church of England and in England,
the Puritans didnt have the power to purify the
church so the Puritan leaders decided to create
their own governments in Massachusetts. There
rules would be based on their religious ideas.
They hoped that their settlement would be
successful that the English would finally give
in, and accept their ideas and beliefs.
BACKGROUND
Puritan colonists on their way to church.
The Puritans believed that God chose a number of
people to go to heaven after they pass away.
During the lives of these people, they were
supposed to follow the teachings in the Bible and
although others may not be part of this, they
should still act as if they were.
Puritans followed the teachings of the Bible.

WHO IS HE?
WHAT DOES HE DO?
SATAN
LET'S FIND OUT . . .
WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE?

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF . . .
SATAN

• Satan was believed to be real by the Puritans
  and they thought that Satan tried to force people
  to defy God and the teachings of the Bible.

• He was defined as an angel who defied God and
  spread evil on Earth, or the devil.

• Puritans also believed that witches were the
  servants of Satan(the devil) and that they helped
  Satan carry out his evil work.

The picture shows Satan waking his troops.

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF . . .
WITCHES

• are men and women who make deals with Satan.
• People who promise to worship Satan and work for
  him.
• received special powers, such as the ability to
  fly or cast harmful spells on their enemies

Puritan ministers stated that women or females
were more likely to become witches. They thought
this because they are convinced that females were
morally delicate. Also, they stated that females
can be more provoked to shun God and honor Satan
instead.
This is what a witch could look like in 1626.

WITCHCRAFT
As you all know, if there are witches, then there
is witchcraft. Now, let me give you a riddle. If
Satan was an enemy of God, then what are witches?
The answer? Witches are also enemies of God, DUH!
In 1641, witchcraft became illegal due to a new
English law. Colonial leaders frequently didnt
eliminate people who were accused of being a
witch because they knew that people might
unfaithfully accuse others as witches. Also,
discovering solid evidence that goes against
accused witches was difficult.
This picture shows a girl accused as a witch.
This girl looks creepy and I would also think
that she is a witch!

AND NOW
THE STORY OF . . .
8
ACCUSED
WITCHES
9
FIRST ACCUSED WITCHES
Around January 20, 1692, an unknown disease
struck Abigail Williams and Betty Parris. A
minister in the community of theirs wrote that
they looked as if theyd been bitten and pinched
by invisible agents. The arms and backs of the
girls had been twisted in unnatural ways.
10
WHAT WAS THE REASON TO THIS UNKNOWN DISEASE?
WITCHES
THE ANSWER
How about this?
YES!
NOPE
This type?
TRY AGAIN!
11
FIRST ACCUSED WITCHES
A town doctor said that the girls were bewitched.
The girls blamed Tituba, their familys slave for
bewitching them. Tituba did admit that she
learned quite a bit about witchcraft, such as
spells from her former master, but she swore that
she wasnt a witch.
To make matters worse for Tituba, two more girls
that show signs of being bewitched also accused
Tituba.
Tituba
This picture shows Tituba telling witchcraft
tales to children.
12
FIRST ACCUSED WITCHES
Another accused witch was Sarah Good. Her
neighbors claimed that she was a witch that
bewitched them and their animals. (How nice of
her neighbors!) Although she was accused of being
a witch, she was not arrested.
13
FIRST ACCUSED WITCHES
Sarah Osborne was also accused of being a witch.
She and her husband were in an argument with
Thomas Putnam. Putnams daughter, Ann, was an
afflicted girl.

14
FIRST ACCUSED WITCHES
On February 29, 1692, Thomas Putnam and a couple
of other men formally accused Tituba, Sarah Good,
and Sarah Osborne of witchcraft.
The most astonishing answer from the questioning
came from Tituba. She said that Satan came to her
and requested her to aid him. She also stated how
Satan sometimes emerges as a dog, hog, and black
cats and rats. She also said that she, Osborne,
and Good had signed a book in blood, representing
that they had made a deal with Satan.
The accused witches were then brought in to be
questioned.
Sarah Good opposed to the idea that she was a
witch and that she abused the afflicted girls.
Instead, she accused Sarah Osborne of witchcraft.
Sarah Osborne also opposed to the idea that she
was a witch and instead suggested that maybe
Satan made himself look identical to her when he
did his evil work.
15
FIRST ACCUSED WITCHES
Tituba answer were so shocking that the news of
her answers spread all around Salem quickly.
People in the town of Salem began to say that
they had seen ghost-like images of Sarah Good,
Sarah Osborne, and Tituba. The bewitched girls
also talked about seeing ghosts that flew around
and tried to harm them. They also started to
accuse even more people of being witches.
Ann Putnam described how one woman often appeared
around her and afflicted pain towards her by
pinching her and other various methods.
16
A GRUESOME DEATH
80 years old Giles Corey, was accused of being a
witch. He ignored the questioning and stood
silently. As a result, they punished him by
placing a wooden board on his chest as he lay on
the ground. The officials would place stones on
the board continuously until the weight killed
Corey.
17
TRIALS

• Massachusetts Governor Phips called for a court
  to decide if the accused people were actually
  witches in late May.
• Witches were not allowed to speak in court
  because of the English law. They were not trusted
  to speak the truth since they didnt worship God.
• Confessed witches avoided the death sentence and
  instead, they had to stay in jail.
• Witches that do not admit to their crimes were
  killed. This is why innocent people began to
  confess to being witches. They didnt want to be
  accused as guilty and die. After some time
  though, some confessed witches later say that
  they arent witches.
• Ministers were also accused.
