The Year after the “Miracle of Lourdes’ in France 1858, Twelve Hundred young French girls also claimed a visit by the Virgin Mary, Twelve Boys did.

For every 100 hundred women that claim the Stigmata, I man does.

I googled to see what finally stopped the Salem witch hysteria: they ran out of people to accuse.

[Jeff Chandler]

Don’t forget the false memory child abuse hysteria of the 80s and 90s. McMartin Daycare, etc.

I presume you are making the case that females are drawn to drama and attention.

....females are drawn to drama and attention.

Pretty much.

[Architect of Avalon]

Key characteristics transcend eras, so what held true in Salem in dark centuries past holds true today, with comparable effects.

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

Translate?

[Mears]

The more things change the more they stay the same.

[Yaelle]

[Architect of Avalon]

The more that things appear to change, the more that constants prove to be timeless.

People may say that the 21st century is very different from centuries in which there were witch hunts.

However, personality types and temptations to which many people succumb still dominate, and everything else in society is window dressing around an unchanged core.

[Bodleian_Girl]

Wonderful explanation, thank you.

[Bodleian_Girl]

Thank you!
