The TRUTH About The SALEM WITCH TRIALS!

[@vinniechaos]

Woman: * breathes * Colonial man: *OH MY GOD*

[@mooqnor]

Sksksksk lmao facts

[@ClodaghQuinnchannel]

She's a witch

[@mindyb3197]

😂

[@WhisperingMoon83]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@stefansnellgrove]

Vinnie Chaos where’s the lie though

[@RoseanneB13]

I'm left-handed, have a mole on my chin and own a black cat. I wouldn't have lasted long in Salem 😂

[@shoiyoshi6040]

rose me too. Sadly I wouldn’t last long either 😂

[@booklovinggirl]

I have green eyes and I'm left handed

[@tin4590]

Im left handed brown eyed

[@ARedVelvetBunnie]

Lmao I’m also a lefty with a mole on my chin but instead of a cat I have a bunny haahah

[@valleyofhoes]

I would only survive like a second there 😂😂😂

[@mad_mela]

Woman: * has independent thought * Salem Man: *WITCH!!!*

[@PungiFungi]

The fact that men were also targeted goes beyond just simple the fear of outspoken independent strong women.

[@ArachniusWebb]

My 10x great grandpa was the first one to hang, and Giles Corey was actually pressed to death, wasn't just women

[@xxo4914]

We learned about witch trails and my history teacher told us a method used to determine whether a woman was a witch was to tie her/him's ankles down with weights, throw them into water and if they somehow survived they must have used their powers then they would be hung or brunt at the stake. So it was either drown or survive to die.

[@emilyinman6123]

ella xo If a witch had the power to survive from drowning, why wouldn't a witch use their powers to survive a hanging or being set on fire?

[@VictoriaJH5]

ok I’m so late but when I was in high school my teacher told us the same thing!!

[@tin4590]

Can I just die for free Jk Im not a sarah

[@cicimelendez4557]

Yup. This started in Europe and was based off a book by King James VI of Scotland called "Daemonologie." He had a theory that if a person was a witch you could find out by doing what you said, tying them up and throwing them in water, and if they began to sink that meant they accepted the waters of baptism (not a witch) but if they floated that meant they rejected the waters of baptism (they are a witch). But apparently he didn't mean for people to actually start killing people suspected of witchcraft, he was trying to make a point that we should use evidence before we convict someone. James actually dismissed many people that came to him with accusations of others being witches because he could straight up tell they were lying/there was no evidence to support their claims.

[@jonathan_8100]

Thats the stupidest test ever all those poor people who drowned because of the mens stupidity back then

[@miss_mars931]

weird fact my history teacher told me about mouldy bread ~ apparently when the black plague was killing and making everyone sick around Europe, the only town that had no one sick was a little town in Germany and the only reason they think now is because they were so poor they all ate mouldy bread and mould contains penicillin. ok just wanted to get that out there bye.

[@stacybrenda9409]

[@rachelbubela7879]

if you ever have the opportunity to go to Salem, I would highly recommend it. I went there a few years ago and I found it so interesting. they have lots of guided tours (some even at night) that go really into detail about what happened and the people involved. it has a stone road and lots of cool shops around it. if you do go to Salem, I definitely recommend going to Turners because I still dream about their mac and cheese

[@lovebird3214]

Rachel Bubela I’m going this weekend and I’m so excited!!

[@elainegutierrez4197]

i live in salem and its boring until october thats when its really fun

[@christyvo6913]

pleb you can’t just assume she wants the lights dimmed. That’s irrelevant to wanting her to be your history teacher

[@keonnasimmons882]

When i was in 11th grade we learned about the Salem witch trials and even watched the crucible. Same with To Kill a Mocking Bird Raisin in the Sun Of Mice & Men The great Gatsby

[@mariahanstey3075]

Keonna Simmons I am in 7th grade and we have read Of Mice and Men and To Kill a Mockingbird

[@tiffany_michele]

Same😅

[@vrishtiroy5587]

i had 2 learn about the with trials, and i had to read the crucible, and to kill a mockingbird, and i am in 7th grade, lol

[@sarahsimpson8329]

I read to kill a mockingbird in 8th grade and of mice and men in 9th

[@Vchill1]

Me and my husband have what we call "winter's revenge" and it's every night once Kendall has uploaded, and we sit outside in the cold cuddle up with hot chocolate! We absolutely adore Kendall! There's just no KZbinr that even compares!!

[@ellemorera]

[@tansantosh906]

Same. I cuddle up with my blanket and drink some Coke...fml

[@odile_OwO]

Oh my god, thats goals but like i couldn't watch it outside lol 😅

[@Vchill1]

Emily Yost thank you:) we live in Louisiana so the cold is bareable lol

[@jonathan_8100]

Outside?! I wouldnt have the balls to watch kendall's videos outside and in the cold, thats really cool tho! 😂

[@roxyn6187]

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothing left.....R.I.P. to the days of good rap

[@dtsotm]

Kendall would you consider a video about David Kelly? He basically exposed war crimes that had been committed during the Iraq war and while his death has been ruled a suicide most people (even my mum who's like the most anti conspiracy person ever) believe he was stitched up and murdered

[@sierra3934]

yesssss! would love to see a video about war crimes. a lot of shady things are over looked during these extreme times

[@DashingErwyne16]

Fun fact: I'm actually related to one of the last people to be executed during the Salem Witch Trials..

[@SharlenesJourney]

Susana Bravo lol Its a good topic!!

[@freemandana417]

Me too but in American history!

[@DeedsResearcher]

Just over 10 years ago I made my acting debut in "The Crucible", portraying Judge Hathorne. Out of the actual 7 Salem Judges, Hathorne was the ONLY one who never recanted for what he did. Even Judge Danforth (the Deputy Governor at the time) recanted!) But Hathorne went to his grave some 25 years later...still thinking he had done the right thing. To show you the after effects: The very name "Hathorne" was so despised in that region that his great grandson...Nathaniel...added a "w" to his name in order to distance himself from the Judge. His new name: Nathaniel Hawthorne!!! (...and NOW you know...the REST of the story!) In any event, some legislation came about shortly after these trials. At the time, courts were allowed to accept "spectral" evidence. The legislature outlawed that practice...thankfully. When the US Constitution was adopted, numerous Amendments were proposed as a result of those trials! For example the Fifth Amendment...providing that you cannot be forced to testify against yourself. The right to legal counsel in any criminal accusation is now part of our highest laws. The right to examine the evidence against you. Also...and very important...the right to be considered INNOCENT until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. One other thing: You mentioned the Catholic Church. However, in the play "The Crucible", we hear the line from Judge Danforth..."The government and the 'central church demand to know...' clearly referring to a protestant church. Catholics did not come to the New World until long after the new nation came into being! It was in the late 1800s when Catholics were streaming into Ellis Island in vast numbers, seeking a chance to live "The American Dream". But in 1692, there were virtually no Catholics at all in New England! (And yes, there were...obviously...Catholics here before then, but in the 1600s they were few and far between. If I seem to know a bit about Hathorne, it's because I researched the actual judge in order to find out what sort of man I was being asked to portray. From all the evidence, I found him to be a real jerk! lol

[@AshleyConner]

freak week is best week I need freak year, Kendall 😂

[@georgialeineberg2436]

[@MysterE991]

TBH everyone should read "The Crucible". Best play ever.

[@juliadoeren5432]

I read it in high school. It’s definitely one of the best books I’ve read. So good!

[@imonk5295]

Kelli Unboxes! Shes doing videos every day im pretty sure its not that easy to remember where you messed up and edit it out then upload it .

[@Bblauu]

I thought I was the only one and then I finally found your comment 😅

[@VenusInCancer01]

I love your brutal honesty and choice words all over your channel. Every cat we’ve owned has been named in honor of the witch trials. We’ve had a gallows, a coven, Corey, Salem, Bishop and ‘be’ short for bewitched.

[@floweredinfebruary]

I took an early North American literature class and we went through documentation from the Salem witch trials. My professor talked about a theory that states that the girls ate the mold and had hallucinations, but it only went as far as it did because of power. If you research the women you'll find a lot of them were widows and owned land. These women had influence and people made up this "witch" trial to get rid of them. Also, the men who died were the ones who tried to stop it. I definitely believe it was a mix of mold and conspiracy against the influential women of the town.

[@carolinepisarchuk6319]

Not just a conspiracy towards powerful women, but spawned from younger girls, who because of the puritan way of life were not allowed to play or have normal childhoods, so these accusers were essentially having fun and getting attention from this. Many apologized and admitted to lying or "being influenced by the devil" years after the trials were over.

[@gofakeyourself2978]

Giles Corey was a hero. I don’t believe mold had anything to do with it.Liars,thieves and murderers still being given a pass when the simple truth is it was a targeted land and wealth grab against those who couldn’t fight back.

[@maddiG23]

Society was/is always against women so I believe your take!

[@tatertotfit]

The mold is also a thing used in LSD

[@diane9544]

Go Fake Yourself when I was 4 in kindergarten the teacher passed out a coloring sheet as she handed it to me I saw it was a pilgrim lady and pulled my hand back and it dropped to the floor. I responded they were evil liars. I had a heavy wooden door put on me and churchmen placed stones on it till I couldn’t see or breathe for two days, they laughed the whole time. Since I was 4 living in Louisiana never knowing of Salem, Giles Corey, witch trials or anything related, this was an odd feeling thru the years. As a teenager I learned in school about the witch trials and immediately knew. The preacher started it to be relevant and gain property with the townsmen. I visited the place last year for the first time at 53 years old, I took a pic of his name on the walk path and in the photo is an very old boot next to my feet... I was alone and nobody was standing next to me! ... so I thought😳 I’ve joked about being him reincarnated, but in reality it could just be a weird coincidence. Anywho, take care

[@zarayla7348]

"Let me tell you about Cotton, Cotton was a real fluffer" I love her already XD (Btw I put fluffer instead of the curse she said, because I don't curse XD)

[@oykubozalioglu1465]

The fact that i’m rewatching 2017 freak week shows that i have an weird obsession over kendall

“Cotton was a real fucker.” Omg I laughed so hard

[@joshdove]

I grew up in Salem, I love seeing it talked about. :)

[@britneyharris5096]

If you are looking to read a book about this topic, I would HIGHLY recommend The Crucible. It gives the idea that mass hysteria was a real and very powerful thing during the Salem Witch Trials. Please read it! It is so, so good.

[@ohheyy8755]

Dang. I swear Everytime I'm doing something related to things in my life u make a video about it. Like right now I'm actually doing a project on the Salem Witch Trials.

[@KendallRae]

Fun topic in school, it was one of my favorite lessons!

[@foxleymeow]

When do you ever do stuff that’s not related to things in your life

[@MichaelaH2059]

I visited Salem 2 years ago and, when I stood at the foot of Gallows Hill, I cried. You can absolutely the energy of fear and sadness standing there. Great video.

[@CowboyyPoison]

My teacher is making me read a book called the crucible and it’s about this, it’s so interesting

[@KendallRae]

Yup! Im pretty sure almost everyone in the american school system reads it in hs- such an interesting topic!

[@jessicamasonfobert]

I love this video! I actually LIVE right down the street from the memorial😍. I’ve always loved being from this area. People take living here for granted but there is SO much history all over Massachusetts, ESPECIALLY Salem. It’s wonderful to continuously learn about our roots 💞

So happy you did this video. I love about 30 mins from Salem.

[@mar-io4bw]

Omg what a coincidence I am reading the crucible rn

[@KendallRae]

I think a lot of people read it this time of year, I know I did.

[@nelliebrooke9964]

Me too

[@TheEstee45]

soft palms I read that in yr 11

[@ChaoticPeace357]

I thinks it’s ergot as well because that would also explain the dogs reacting to the rye cakes and urine

[@BreSinging]

My friend learned that her descendent was a Christian woman, accused of witchcraft for some reason and that right before she was killed, she laughed.

[@fickledame]

Princess Bre Probably out of shock.

[@BreSinging]

fickledame maybe! But the way it was written down made it seem like she was laughing because she knew the truth.

[@88lakeshore]

there hasn't ever been a human outbreak of ergot, it really only happens in animals. I was just in Salem a few weeks ago and i met this historian, i guess there was a research psychology paper done a few years back that basically determined it a mass hysteria crisis. also because of the length of witch trials it was impossible for ergot to even break out and last for all that time.

[@88lakeshore]

also one of these affects of ergot is that your limbs turn black and fall off and there was never any record of that happening so it couldn't possibly be ergot for that reason as well

[@daytonadelrey8294]

U should do a freak week concept for Christmas

[@jennasanford3582]

If anyone is really interested in the Salem Witch Trials, I would recommend watching The Crucible (Winona Rider is in it, she plays Abigail). It such a good movie and it’s also a play. AND THEY HUNG TWO DOGS ALONG WITH THE 20 PEOPLE.

[@mayflower4137]

I’m related to the Putnam family on my paternal side- some of the main accusers in the trials.

[@wolfblood1114]

I live "near" Salem. I go almost every year and I'm headed there in four days. There is still a heaviness in that graveyard. U can feel it. I love going and seeing everyone paying their respects to the victims

[@abbyb2832]

I love you Kendall, but the editing was a little wonky. It's like you edited in different versions of the same statement several times. On a different note, this was an awesome video!

[@abbyb2832]

And I think her name was prononced tit-u-ba.

[@rraine3]

yea, i noticed that too

[@cassidyjean3665]

i noticed it too.

[@aphextwen]

I noticed too! I think it's because she's doing a video every day for freak week! Still a wonderful vid and her others are edited even more meticulously :)

[@brookethatcher2541]

I had to rewind because I thought I imagined her repeating stuff 😂

[@madysennnn4455]

“Things were pretty whack.” Lmao I love this channel.

[@carolinearellano9707]

1.)I descend from a long line of Witches that practiced white magic ( technically Wiccan's ) witch makes me even more pumped for this video 2.) I've always been obssed with the Salem witch trials

[@KendallRae]

Thats bad ass!!!! I would love to know more!

[@sheldoncooper4204]

Oh my god!! Please tell me more!!

[@WowWow-ow6fw]

Wicca started in the 50s in England... paganism, as a whole, has been around for a very very long time. Witches Can be pagan, not all pagans are witches.. wiccans can be witches, but not all witches are wiccan.. wiccans are pagans, but not all pagans are wiccans. You have to be initiated into Wicca to be a wiccan.. can't just call yourself a wiccan. I am a witch, but I am not a pagan. I don't believe in the 3 fold 10 fold bs. Nor do I do the karma.. You might be from a long line of witches, but a long line of wiccans, true initiated wiccans, is highly unlikely.

[@sarahjane8782]

Same, I'm Wiccan!

[@WowWow-ow6fw]

Amber Silva there are a ton of rules in Wicca. Not sure how you can practice as you see fit. I do apologize about saying bs. It was rude and uncalled for. If you're practicing as you see fit, are you sure you're Wiccan? And not eclectic? There are many many paths in the pagan religion. Not just Wicca. Lots and lots of beautiful ways of practice

[@FeelslikeHalloween]

You should do a video about Countess Elizabeth Bathory and one about the curse of the Hope Diamond.

[@reneenayfabnaynay5679]

[@ErinaBleu]

I actually just went to Salem a couple weeks ago and it was so eerie. You can go into old houses that people lived in at the time, and there's a huge graveyard and memorials for all the victims... It's of course turned into a sort of tourist attraction but it's so interesting to be in the same place that such a tragic event happened hundreds of years ago.

[@neamphy7276]

[@justmee5999]

I am so glad I found your channel!!!! I found you about a month ago when I was reading up on the missing (confirmed dead) Panama girls, and I ended up watching your video on their story. I normally dislike watching commentary rather than actual, funded crime shows, but there weren't many videos on the Panama girls with the full story, so I gave you a try... and you sucked me riiight in. I've been binging your videos ever since! ♡ you really know how to paint a picture and tell a story. Im loving your whole vibe: the pets, the crystals, the salt lamp, the content... 10/10 love you and your channel, i'm so glad I found you!

[@meaganisamermaid]

Was looking for this comment lol

[@binxy9599]

I had always been fascinated with the witch trials when learning of them in school. My sister as well and we always wanted to go to Mass during Halloween time and this past Halloween (2018) we finally were able to visit Salem and it was such an amazing experience! We did a mock trial and the people in the trial were able to try the “witch” or not. And they just had so many cool things to do and learn about! And then at night the kiddos and people came out and enjoyed trick or treating. It was hands down one of the best (& most crowded) experiences ever! Highly recommended!

I live about 30 min. from Salem and my husband and I love going to Salem this time of year. It's so much fun and so so interesting.

[@bunny_god]

I meeeaaannn...If your name is Sarah, it’s a fact you are a witch sooo.

[@sarahfreund5384]

Bunny God yas, girl. Putting a curse on ALL OF YOUUUU! 👻👻👻

[@jazzsolocup3291]

Bunny God there's no such thing as a witch because magic isn't real. Both Christians & people who think their witches are basically schizophrenics who are trying to cope with the fact that they believe in fairy tales & things that arn"'t there.

[@beauxbatten]

Jazz Solo Cup shows you know nothing about real witchcraft because it's not all hexes and brooms like you see in movies

[@sarahmartinez4057]

i, sarah, agree with this statement

[@bunny_god]

Sarah Martinez Your name is the most witchiest thing ever.

[@juliarose6427]

I'm OBSESSED with the Salem Witch Trials. My sister and I have visited Salem three times in the past 8 years. There is so much history and hundreds of museums, tours, and activities to do in the month of October. I highly suggest it for anyone interested!

[@thegamergirl.30yearsago87]

My great great great great great great grandma was accused of being a witch and they hung her... I also read a book that was called "the witch of the black pond" and it was kind of the same, everyone accused her of being a witch because she could swim and the only other person who could swim was a boy who was a sailor and the girl had a friend who was also accused of being a witch because she was not a puritan. And the main girl did not die in the end but we never finished the book because of coronavirus. I'm sorry in the beginning I made it sound like the book was about my grandmother but it was about a girl named kit and her friend hannah

[@karsoncorbitt1911]

The Crucible is a great play that tells a pretty accurate account of the Salem witch trials. I definitely recommend watching the movie or reading the play!! Loved this video!

[@MelanieLeeBaker]

Ah, this takes me back to memories of my hand nearly falling off due to taking notes in my 7th grade history class and being forced to read The Crucible.

[@jenndob3865]

Born and raised in Salem Massachusetts and expected way more than this from you girl! There's so much more!

[@kimhegarty-waters4637]

Kendall I've live in Massachusetts my entire life...Check out the movie "3 Soverigns For Sarah" it is a very accurate depiction of what went on... Thanks for doing this...Salem is such a cool place to visit, horrific past with the "Mass Hysteria" and the Hallucinogen fungus, they do Awesome Halloween tours and it is a Beautiful City!!

[@millicent432]

Idk why, but this era in history has always been my favorite! So fascinating!

[@marissaa503]

I can’t wait for Freak Week this year!

[@adhorsegirl]

Do a video going more into depth about the witches! So fascinating. Would love to hear you talk about the herbs they used and knowledge they held

[@Nick-ox1vu]

one my ancestors died in the salem witch trials.

[@AlopeciaPatientx]

Nick Warren how did you find out? Did they tell the story threw years ? Also I'm sorry that one of your ancestors was killed if you don't want to answer the questions it's okay.

[@JesseMootrey]

What was your ancestors name? I had three ancestors die in the trials, mary estey(easty), rebecca nurse and roger toothaker

[@tickedoffnow]

That's sad :(

[@samwesticles]

My 11th great grandfather was Samuel Wardwell, he was killed in the Salem witch trials too. I found out through ancestry!

[@tay6099]

Freak week is giving me life through this nasty cold winter! Thanks for being an amazing story teller! I’m truly impressed with your videos!

[@MG-ne3io]

omg that picture on the bottom left corner in the thumbnail is my great great etcetera grandmother !!! Her name was Mary Bradbury, she was accused of witchcraft however escaped before she could be executed! X

[@lourdesrodriguez996]

Many many Years ago... I rememeber watching a movie... I was still a kid.... Thus i learned about this topic... And never forget it.

[@beckysue9029]

How am I just finding your channel ? I LOVE crime and weird things like the stuff in your videos. On a hard binge right now haha

[@amyatchley1093]

Rebecca DeCoste same here. I'm so happy I found her but sad it didnt happen sooner.

[@mileytaylor1304]

I love that u did this one my family originate from the actual witches ( there were actual witches in that town but the weren’t the ones executed) we are related to the executioned as well but are close relation to the actual witches in that time and my grandma still practices

[@bekahgoerke1370]

I’m related to Giles Corey son in law! When he died his land went to him because you know land couldn’t go to women. So they went to there husbands and I’m related to one of them!!

[@jaquelincruz5777]

This is perfect! Since I’m reading this book in class, I love this book!😤☺️💛💛 apparently there’s this theory of why “the afflicted children” were being “bewitched” because a recent test years ago, (2014?) they tested the soil where they grew crops, where it used to be Salem Village, there were micro bugs or something like that, that made the children(girls) having these affects.

[@bettaandfrogmom116]

Great video! Have you been to the first memorial, the one at the old burying ground? The entrance way has quotes from the testimony of the accused carved into the ground and a bench dedicated to each of the people who died.

[@lycheejelly564]

Saddest thing about this is that people would accuse people that they didn’t like... if someone was too quiet, if someone wanted to reject another, etc you could be put in trial. So scary

[@nataliewilde8376]

*Dj Khalid voice* Another one.

[@KendallRae]

+Natalie Wilde ANOTHER ONE.

[@nataliewilde8376]

Ahaha, yes my mistake.

[@MsBreePaige]

Wilde Wilde thoughts... 😏

[@elko9871]

We talked about the Salem witch trials in my English class when I was 10 and that fueled my love for anything creepy, weird, eerie, paranormal.

[@galwaygirl9249]

Anyone watched Salam on Netflix? It's really good!!

[@JosephinaRenee]

Yessss I love the way they turned history into a story line like that

[@lhproductions61]

This just made me thing of school and reading the crucible and all that stuff. Your videos are like the only reason I still watch anything on KZbin

[@hh-bluedynamite]

I remember watching a video that talks about the modern stuff that would make you be seen as a witch during the Salem Witch Trials. To sum it up, 'a living woman'. That's it. Lol. I've heard of this one test they did where they would tie the 'witch' to a chair tethered to a rock and dump them in a lake. If they live, then they're a witch, if not, then no. Sooo...what if the person was able to get free (like untie or cut themselves free).

[@tynnahinckley7676]

I live in Maine, not far from Mass, and last year a friend of mine and I went and spent a weekend in Salem during the fall, the beginning of October. There is no experience like it! We took a night walking tour through Salem learning the scary history, taking pictures, etc, etc. I had forgotten all about Gallows Hill until now. During our tour we were told that is one of the most haunted places in/near Salem and were told of many stories. Soooo.... after the tour my friend and I drove up to Gallows Hill. We didn't see anything but we both were just overcome with a strange, uncomfortable feeling. We parked on top of the hill for probably half an hour and just felt creeped out the entire time. I highly recommend taking a trip to Salem during the fall. I bet you and Josh would love it!! The shops in the heart of Salem are amazing, the people and activities that we met along the way were great. I cannot wait to go again! Definitely an experience worth every penny.
