Everyone thinks the witches were burned…but what if that’s not true? #salem #historymyths #shorts

Everyone “knows” the story of the Salem witch trials — innocent women burned at the stake in a frenzy of fear and superstition.
Except… that’s not what happened.

In Salem, no one was burned. Nineteen people were hanged, one man was crushed to death, and hundreds were accused — all victims of hysteria, not flames. The myth of burning witches actually came from Europe, centuries earlier, and got mixed into American folklore over time.

This is the real story of Salem — where paranoia spread faster than fire ever did.
