My wife and I just returned from a short trip to Salem.
We learned that 19 people suspected of witchcraft were executed. Eighteen were hanged; and one was pressed to death.
None of the suspects was burned at the stake. Buring was done in Europe not in the colonies.
Interesting thing. Those who were arrested for witchcraft and pleaded “Guilty” were given fines and jail time but not executed.
Only those who pleaded “NOT GUILTY” and found “guilty” were hanged.
John Proctor was a distant relative on my moms side.
