Salem Witches

A strange thing happened to me last week. I was just leaving the Holyoke Mall

after buying a pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans. It was the first time I had ever bough a

Hilfiger item but for some reason I really wanted to. My boyfriend was driving home and

I began to doze off while reading my copy of Witches and Historians.

All of a sudden I woke up and found myself in a strange place. I got out of bed,

walked outside and saw a bunch of people who looked like Puritans standing around

arguing. I couldn’t really hear them but I caught a few words like “witch” and “disease”

and “burn”. Right then I realized where I was. It was 1692 and I was in Salem, MA. I

had just read about the Salem witch trials so I was well aware of the horrible events which

I struggled with myself as to what to do. On the one hand, I did not feel it was my

job to change history. On the other hand, I could not let innocent women be burned at the

stake. I knew then what I must do. That day I planned what I would say and do to help

the “witches” of Salem. In the evening, there was a town meeting in which they discussed

what to do about the witches. I waited and listened and then it

. . .

(I had torn out page 125 of my Witches and

Historians book). While I fear letting you know too much about the future, let me assure you that

technology in the way of food sanitation will save much more lives than killing off the

witches will. Thus

began the accusations of innocent women which escalated into many deaths. I quickly tried to comer up with something. You Puritans must realize

that those who you have labeled ‘witches’ and believe are destroying your society, are

really nothing more than people the you have come to blame for things that they never

did. Their “witchery” as it was known began as

kind of a novelty.

“We’re here,” my boyfriend said as we pulled into his driveway. They took me to the gallows, tied a rope around my neck and

pulled the chair out from under me. At the same time there were

women who were enjoying a bit of notoriety because of the unusual things they were

doing. They are not the causes of the tragedies for which they are blamed. I gave him a big hug, happy just to see him and then immediately began to

recall the events of my dream. I let them know what had happened

and I gave them my explanation as to why women were labeled as witches.
