The Salem Witch Trials: Hysteria in 1692 | Full History Documentary

In 1692, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, fear devoured reason. It began with the strange afflictions of two girls in a Salem Village parsonage — and ended with nineteen people hanged on Gallows Hill, one man crushed beneath stones, and more than two hundred accused of witchcraft. This is the full story: the Puritan world that made it possible, Tituba's fateful confession, the reign of spectral evidence, the hanging of a minister, Giles Corey's immortal defiance, and the long road to apology and reckoning. Told with cinematic AI-animated historical reconstructions, all original narration and music.
