The Salem Witch Trials are among the most infamous episodes of mass hysteria in early American history. In 1692, a wave of fear swept through the small, isolated community in Salem, Massachusetts, leading to the execution of twenty people and the imprisonment of many more. We know well the stories of those accused, tried, and punished, but what about the animals living alongside these people? Remarkably, there is evidence that even animals—dogs, cats, birds, and more—were not immune from suspicion and paranoia during the witch trials.
