Why did this small town lose its collective mind in the 'witch hunts? Wilson finds himself solving the mystery of what led accused witches to be condemned to the gallows, retracing the dark road that caused Salem to turn on itself - from an accidentally flooded farm and a bitter feud between two Puritan families, to a divisive minister preaching "fire and brimstone," to a secret fortune telling game played by two local girls, to the "diagnosis" of Satanic possession, and a sham trial where hearsay and spectral evidence are all admissible, we find ourselves with a front row seat to the madness.
