Abstract: [Español] Todo comenzó en 1692, durante un invierno excepcionalmente crudo en Massachusetts, cuando la hija de un ministro comenzó a gritar y convulsionar. Terminó menos de un año después, pero no antes de que diecinueve hombres y mujeres fueran ahorcados y un hombre de 80 años muriera aplastado. El pánico se extendió rápidamente e involucró a los hombres más educados y a los políticos prominentes de la colonia. Los vecinos acusaron a vecinos, padres e hijos entre sí.Abstract: [English] It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before nineteen men and women had been hanged and an 80-year-old man crushed to death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other.
