darkbooks.org began in early 2008 I am happy to donate my time to providing you this resource, I would also like to note, that, although I try, I do not always have enough time to deal with the site, including, unfortunately, I do not always have time to answer all letters, because I have to earn money for a living. If you can financially help me, it would free me from the worries of earning money for living, perhaps partially, but ideally completely, then all 100% of my time could be devoted to the site. Also I do pay monthly web server/files storage and hosting costs to keep this site on the air. Please consider making a donation to help me continue this activity and devote more time to it or at least offset the cost of paying for storage/hosting. Even a small contribution helps!

The purpose of this essay is to examine and discuss what the reasons behind the witch hunts in Salem were and attempt to explain why and how they could occur. In order to do so, the following questions have been chosen in order to narrow down the field of interest, as the topic in itself is very vast, even when considering a single event such as this one. That there is no simple explanation behind the rise of a witch hunt, will be clearly visible. Therefore, the focus will be on these issues:

- Were there really people who can righteously be termed witches, and in that case, who were these?

- Who were those who accused others for being witches?

To be able to do this, it has been essential to look into the beliefs of this age both in general and Salem in particular. What made humans so susceptible to belief in witches and other dark powers, which they believed were plaguing them? Were they only superstitious or was there something more to these claims? The main source for this essay is The Crucible by Arthur Miller, and therefore the focus will be upon the events which took place in Salem. Miller used the witch hunts in Salem to make comments and protest against the persecution of the Communists in the U.S.
