I am a descendant of Rebecca Nurse. Her legacy was not destroyed. Many of her family the lines were Scientists, doctors, scholars, and nurses, just to name a few.

I just discovered your channel this morning and I am totally hooked! First off, I love history more than anything in the world! Secondly, I had the privilege of visiting Salem 20 years ago. I stayed at The Hawthorne Inn in Concord and am totally in love with New England!Your channel has helped bring all those wonderful, cherished memories back to life plus have given me some new ones. When you announced that you hit 200 subscribers in the episode I just watched, you hesitated. I thought it was going to be 200,00 subscribers! Lol I thought you must have at least that! Not a lot of us history lovers in the world, are there?! How I wish we both lived in Salem! Your little channel has brought so much joy and excitement into my life. Thank you and God bless. Recovering from major surgery so on to more of your episodes!

I have to thank you for the wonderful documentaries that you offer to the audience and lovers of your programs, especially for the subtitles that come in my native language - a country in the east of the world - provided. so long live!

@6:36- Preachers kids always be the first to jump into the "forbidden" 😆

It is worth noting that the girls had witnessed or experienced horrible massacres. Ptsd can cause incredibly severe symptoms

Thanks for posting.

Unbelievable cruelty and stupidity

a dna test shows that my ancestors were in salem in the 17th century at the same time as this terrible thing happened, may they rest in peace in heaven

They said if u throw a woman in water and if she floats shes a witch if she sinks shes not..this blew my mind, what good is it being not guilty if your dead

Weird to think that certain communities live like this in the 21st century.

My 9 times great grandfather is George Jacobs, and the things they did to all of them was really messed up and very sad, he was the oldest to be killed during the Salem witch trials.😢

I can only hope and pray that should I ever be faced with such animosity that I too stay faithful to Christ... and, heaven forbid, should I ever find myself a persecuter for ill reasons, I pray that I see and turn from such behavior immediately. Please, remember the accused... and the accusers too 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Up to this days there are still people using dark forces...but this story is so terrifying

I think the darkest chapter is today. Never had there been more mental problems than there are today, never had children been so abused and killed as they are today, never had people been so selfish and self centered as we are today, never had people hated themselves so much, never had children been so reckless and disrespectful and the list goes on..

Sad all the terrible things that were done in the name of God.

I think Walt Disney's ancestor was killed during the Witch Trials, a man. I think that's why he has witches in his movies, etc.

It's so strange how the Bible is depicted as "the Good Book" and a guide to morality, yet the more strictly and literally people follow it, the more corrupt they become. The Puritans were a perfect example of this irony.

It's sad how people can be accused of anything whether they are innocent or not! Very scarey and can happen to anybody! If someone doesn't like you for some reason they can accuse you of something and if others believe it you are in a bad situation! And die for it sooo scarey!!!

there are a lot darker ,usa history is one of if not the worce history along with england and germany

so what type of moldy bread are the qanon crowd tripping on or is that just religion too? if i ask nicely can i be disintegrated by the jewish space laser mtg keeps talking about?

Very close to me people descendientes descended for salern families real ones bregtaña 😂😂❤❤❤

I bet when Spain got to South America they went witch crazy

Did England really sent theirs best to America??😂

We're off to a bad start with the title. It wasn't the United States. It would be more accurate to say, "....One of the darkest chapters in the history of the British Empire.". It was British common law that allowed this to happen. Basically, if you were accused of something, you had to prove you were innocent, rather than the accuser having to prove the allegation.

💔

Most people dont know that the accused that cofessed were not executed.

Us Mexicans use a whole egg in water to check if someone did us “ojo” my translation would be “if someone stared with envy and gave us bad vibes”

👍👍👍

Wow

Here's the one thing I have against the whole sale in wedge trial before they start accusing someone have something like that but how did you take a look into your own life and take the plank out of your own eye before you take the speck out of someone else's eye in check is erect yourself in your town to Dumbo

It wasnt the united states in 1692.

Flawed beliefs systems .

My teacher is making me watch this for an assignment

The only reason the Salem Witchcraft Trials ended was because people were starting to wise up and started blaming the magistrates and their wives of being witches and wizards. There were more villagers than magistrates and those magistrates started getting scared. They all knew none of those people were witches but weren't ready to be dunked on their own. For their sins today, they have babies like Brittany and Abigail Hansen. God specifically warns that sometimes, your children pay for your sins.

👍👍😒😒

Father Billy Bob Bondage lived next door to Salem, Massachusetts in Lynn, Lynn, The City of Sin and spent time in Salem Jail and House of Correction where a few witches of the ghosts 👻 lived. BAHAHAHAHA

Very very very close family to me ❤️

The witch wound is real.

The Salem witch trials didn't occur in the United States. The witch hunt happened in the Massachusetts colony in 1682-1693, 82 years before the colonies declared independence from England. The British Crown didn't recognize the USA until September 3, 1783. Therefore, the witch trials happened under British law and this makes the the Salem witch hunt one of the darkest chapters in the history of England, but not the United States as the US didn't even exist at the time.

I know it's just your intention to offer documentaries that are out there and I appreciate the topic, but it was really hard to tolerate the misleading words of these "researchers". The missing facts, misleading information, and portrayal of Reverend Parris and his family is propaganda at best. The accusers were the children and relatives of Reverend Parris who was pissed off about the split in the congregation. Many of the accused were folks who didn't like that he was hired and split from the church. No mention of that important fact. He exacted revenge through his children. The narrator said the Tituba was a slave of a neighbor. That isn't true. She was enslaved by the Reverence Parris. My 9th great-grandfather Bray Wilkins had a run-in with the courts. His granddaughter decided to elope with an agent of the court named John Willard. Bray Wilkins told the Witch Trial Court that Mr. Willard had given him a strange look and given him kidney stones. His granddaughters husband was hung August 19, 1692. Four of the 200 people accused of being witches and 3 of the 19 hanged were my relatives. They were the sisters of my 8th Great-Grandfather. Rebecca Nurse was featured in this video. She was 70 when they hung her. Her younger sister, my Great Aunt Mary Easty (mother of eleven children) was hung September. Author Howe warning against the horrors that can "...befall people from the best of all possible intentions" is way too much. The accusers knew EXACTLY what they were doing. It doesn't take much research of the subject to know she has no idea what she's talking about. She's naive at best and DEFINITELY promoting misinformation. The who video--except for the very ending--seems to be a "Well, these pious Christians were only doing what they know best for their time." Couldn't be further from the truth. The persecution of people by Christians continues often cannibalizing their own in the process.

You always know when a historian doesn’t come from a Christian background on all of this information. No person that considers themselves a Christian would ever ever admit to being in league with Satan. Just uttering that in gest would make it true. A good Christian fears not being near God and they know that the next world is better than this one. That is why they refuse to utter that horrible lie. Their very soul was at stake.

You’d probably be better off being a wanker with means of transportation to get away from that… piracy probably wouldn’t hurt as much

I know a real people families for this Generations in France

Yes I'm not sure all of this was a right doing 😢

What's real Souls princess of the universe real ones real generation real Colony real aliens with blood real Powers ignorance asesinos Killers to the history change everything❤❤

They didnt know what plants and fungi,they couldnt tell what was poisonous or what made you trip

interesting take on the witch hysteria from the so called experts. however they should stick to the facts instead of give their wilde and wide eyed opinions. many they things they spoke on seemed like they were no better than braying donkeys. especially when it comes to anything based around magic. funny how they spend all this time on what was said and the truths missing from these accounts. Forfeitures were left out, ergot played little, witch cakes were made using the malleus maleficarum for recipes, the divination brought by tituba would have been confusing at least of its origin one practice from various forms from various areas would have been very unlikely. There's just too much either unspoken or talked about which was clear to me they had little background in study of when it came to the super natural whether god or witchcraft. I've had easily over a decade plus reading and learning form such. including rare or exhaustive sources.

Was real souls of the universe descendents real ones

Why does it feel like we are dangerously close to going back to this? Instead of Witch its woke.

How was my great x grandfather involved in this?

WITCH WITCH HUNT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?

Zapraszam do Polski, tutaj fanatycy katoliccy nadal zabijają kobiety.

How can this be "one of the darkest chapters in the history of the United States" when the US did not exist at the time? Makes you wonder about the credibility of this video when they cannot even get the title right.

Bradfords of Gov. Bradford are from a dragon bloodline. Lots of fun because my Father married someone from a Serpent bloodline.

You see nobody's knows the truth 😂

Don't forget,"Salem",but forget institution of slavery in this country?

❤❤❤❤ IGNoRANTES Elimdo es IGNoRANTES never was bad girls history change completely bastard's

All the witch stuff happened because the settlers were unknowingly tripping balls off moldy bread. The mold in the bread was making them hallucinate. So there ya go. Mystery solved.

Something similar is happening now with the anti LGBT hysteria regarding 'child grooming' (the actual stats show it's mainly straight people who are the perpetrators ).

Not religious liar's 😂😂😂

Everything it's FAKE

We still have witch trials today. Nothing has changed Just ask former President Trump.
