ABSTRACT:
(5 pp) It is doubtful that the reasons behind the
Salem Witch Trials of 1692 can tidily be bundled
up in one relative cause. However one influence,
that has only recently been suggested is" ergot
poisoning," a fungal mutation present on rye grain
during certain climatic and land conditions.
This paper will examine that as a possible
influence on the participants behaviors.
