1692: A Time of Mass Paranoia

In a time when Puritan beliefs struck fear in society, paranoia swept through the town. By 1692, the God-fearing people of Salem were so consumed by their reverence they even began naming their children One-Who-Fears-God and Thou-Shalt-Not-Commit-Adultery.

With all the terror and harsh times, an inexplicable illness of the Reverend’s daughter could only be explained with one source: witchcraft. Thus, the dark times of the Salem Witch Trials began.
