where were the witch trials

The witch trials were held primarily in Salem Village (now Danvers) and Salem Town in colonial Massachusetts during 1692-1693, famously known as the Salem witch trials. The trials involved hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft, with more than 200 accused, 30 found guilty, and 19 executed by hanging in Salem Town. The court sessions and executions took place in Salem, including nearby towns such as Andover and Topsfield. This event was the deadliest witch hunt in colonial North America. Other witch trials also occurred historically in places like Massachusetts, Connecticut, and parts of Europe, but the most infamous of these trials occurred in Salem, Massachusetts.
