Series: Two Truths and a Myth
Description: "Starting in 1692, many American colonists accused others of being witches in Salem, Massachusetts. It resulted in the deaths of several innocent people. Myths about the Salem Witch Trials have stuck around for hundreds of years. Were only women accused of witchcraft during the trials? Did the witch panic begin when two girls got food poisoning? Now it's up to you to separate the truths from the myths. Will you be able to guess them, or will you be fooled?"--
