This week on Wicked Little Bedtime Stories, we whisper through the smoke of superstition to uncover the dark machinery behind the Salem Witch Trials. What began with a few strange fits in a Puritan parlor erupted into mass hysteria, spectral accusations, and twenty brutal executions—none of which required a shred of real evidence.

 

Who pulled the strings? Who reaped the benefits? And why were women, outsiders, and the inconveniently defiant always the first to burn—figuratively, if not literally? From Tituba’s coerced confession to Giles Corey’s final words under crushing stone, we peel back the rotten layers of a story that still echoes through courtrooms and cults to this day.

 

So pull the covers tight. Tonight, we conjure the truth. And in Salem… the truth got you killed.
