Actually, the witch trials began when they were playing with dolls during a time when they were closed in their house over a very extreme winter weather, perhaps a form of cabin fever. Also watching the girls was a Carribean, slave who told the girls stories from the Catholic written Malleus Malificarum about demonic sexual attacks. The types of dolls described in the witch trials were closer to voodoo dolls than a forerunner of Barbie.
