They did believe in witches in Salem because girls were pretending that others people were hurting them and saying they saw there specter doing things in the night. There evidence was not scientific because the only thing they had of proof was the girls that said there were witches.

They believed that witches were real because theyy are stupid, there reasons were yet scientific but still made no sense.

Brandon M said...

I don't think their witch trials are scientific at all because it's all up to the girls on what happens if she goes into an fit then she is touch and she stops because she doesn't like that person so she would stop and make sure she would or he would be executed. So no their evidence was scientific.

Witches were believed in Salem because men didn't like women should be in control.Their evidence was not scientific because women can be in control.

Tayte said...

I think they believed in witches because they found one and the witch said that there was more but didn't tell who. Since the witch didn't name the other witches they where blaming everyone for witchcraft.

i don't think that because wouldnt there be more of them in this generation

Nicole said...

I think they believed in witches because there were girls who said they were being tormented by witches then blamed it on there family and friends and sometimes even strangers. And I no I don't think there evidence was scientific because they had a different ideas to find all that information out.

Ian L said...

The people in Salem thought witches were real because these little girls kept faking convulsions and they kept accusing people that they were witches. There is no scientific evidence that there are witches.

They believed in witches in Salem because they were obsessed with witches and witchcraft in the 1500's and 1600's and most people had limited understanding of the cause of catastrophic events, such as sickness, deaths, droughts, disease, and poor harvests. I do think that their some of their evidence may have been scientific.

I think they be leaved that there where witches there because there where people the act Different then the other and kinda act weird around people

No, because they couldn't see specters, the disease didn't kill them, and people bit themselves to make a witches tit.

Lauren Pride said...

I do not think there there evidence was scientific. I think that they believed in witches because there was so much tension in salem that I think that there imagination got the better of them.

Caelen Merrill said...

I think the evidence was not scientific. It was usually girls saying that other girls were witches because they didn't like each other. That's the reason the witches were believed because girls would say other girls are witches by tormenting themselves and saying it was the girl who was a (witch).

Kylie M. said...

Yes because why would they kill them if they were accused.

Gabe L said...

there was no science behind it they killed random people

the only deaths im really upset about is the dogs that got killed

Breanna c said...

i dont know why they belevied in witches in salem but i do believe they are real but the evidence was not sientific because the girls were doing that stuff to themselves those people were innocent.

Sammy E. said...

They belived that there were witches in salem and they would killl them if they found out that they really were a witch.

TYLER WANSOR said...

they killed people that they thought were witches and the pets of the so called witches

morrison doucette said...

If they believed that there were witches in salem they would leave and go sum wear else or they would report them that there was a witch in salem so they would have to prove it if they were not of they are a witch if they were they would be free and if they lied they would be hanged

Yes, I do believe that they believed in witches. Their evidence was not scientific, because they only relied on the lies the girls told.

Anonymous said...

if they did belive in witches in salem they would try to make them confess that they were a witch and if they didnt confess they would kill them and their way of killing ewww you dont want to know

Lily r said...

They bileved in the witches because there were little kids pretending to be witches. I do not think their evidence was scientific.

Jasmine L. said...

I think they believed in witches in Salem because, girls blamed people when they were far away, and they said WITCH!!! The people believed them. I don't think there evidence was scientific.

Abby Da Witch said...

Well, I am a Wi-NOT A witch. *In all honesty, it was a few little girls blaming women and pretending to have fits *

It wasn't all scientific, it was just people thinking peoples birthmarks are the 'devils tit.' And stuff like that. They were really stupid back then!

But, they believed that if you lie, you go to hell. But, most of the people who told the truth and said 'I am no witch' died, But the one who lied and said 'I am a witch' lived.

Yeah right science no stupidness yes all the people who accused people of being a witch are idiots.

Brian Wakem said...

i find the salem witch trials a stupid reason to hang people.

shawn Rebel said...

i think the reason why they believed in witches is because they need something to believe in

kolby osgood said...

Tristin R said...

I think that they believed there were witches in salem because these girls were acting weird and girls were just starting to become independent kinda.I do not think their evidence was scientific.

I don't think it was scientific, because its just rumors.

Raven Da Senpai said...

I think they believed them because of those little girls maybe they told everyone that lives at the village and told them everything about witches and it made people scared so they would have a court and all of that to see if the person is a witch or not because they cannot lie if they do they will get hung and have hold what they have that started all of this and the reason why they cannot lie is because if they do than the judges can try to see if the person is lying or not if the person is not than that person is not guilty if that person does lie than she is guilty and gets hung with a bible or anything that started all of this.

Nikki Newcomb said...

I think that they believed in witches in salem because of the religion they practiced and I don't think there evidence was scientific.

I think they believed in them because the kids had said they saw like Spirits

morgn said...

i think yes back then was different

they were wierd

Andrew Iverson said...

They had no way to prove if they were really witches so i Think that it was just the girls trying to get attention

alanah.t :P said...

I think that they believed in witches in salem because they couldn't think of any better explanations for what was happening to the afflicted children, also, their religion helped move that fact along. Food poisoning, bad water, illnesses, and just the little girls playing could have been responsible for their convulsions, hallucinations, and fevers.

I dont think that the evidence that they used (such as spectral evidence, the touch test, and the water test) where scientific evidence.

I think that they believed in witches because they were scared of what was happening and didn't really have any other explanation. I don't think they had any scientific evidence because it all started when one little girl lied about playing and the lies just continued with the other girls.

I believe that their evidence was more religion based than science based. I'm not hating on any said religion (or at all) (I'm basically writing this disclaimer so I don't get killed by anybody), but most of them do not align with science.
