Strange Phenomena of New England: In the Seventeenth Century

By Henry Jones

"Strange Phenomena of New England" is a fairly comprehensive series of primary source materials related to the Salem Witch Trials. These range from preliminary works to legal proceedings and testimony from the trials themselves, to the final confession of the jurors themselves some time later, proclaiming that they had condemned the innocent and sinned.The strange tales contained in the testimony here are now timeless, as an example of the worst which can be created by a moral panic, in an era of superstition, with a legal system then not merely blind but often deaf and dumb. Tales of flying witches, demonic intercourse, spectral attack, and much more, abound in the odd pages of texts dating to long, long ago.
