This town in Massachusetts has become synonymous with witches due to a series of trials and burnings that took place in the 17th century.

Salem, Massachusetts, was the setting of the Salem witch trials in 1693. The townspeople rounded up women (and some men) they believed were practicing witchcraft and held sham "trials" where false testimony and evidence convicted them. They were hung as punishment.
