[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 134518, member: 1436"] I was just thinking the same thing, Susie. In fact, I printed the article to share with my juniors because we just finished The Crucible. There are several interesting theories as to what happened in Salem---one is ergot poisioning, but that was ruled out because it leads to gangrene in those who have been poisoned. Another theory is that it is simply hysteria gone awry. If you have been raised to believe that all bad things happen because of evil spirits---then you tend to believe that evil spirits can possess people---then someone has to be bringing the evil spirits into the innocent "children"---and so on. Thanks for sharing though. It will add to my "interesting" teaching file. [/QUOTE]
