WITCH PLEADINGS
Salem, MA - Just as you walk into the Ancient Cemetery in Salem, there are these stones in the ground with pleadings of the people accused of being witches. You could imagine how they must have felt.

how terribly sad. i'm so sorry for all those souls. how much they suffered before they were killed and during. may their souls rest with God.
I am glad you photographed these. So many people go to Salem and enjoy it like it's an amusement park. Few people ever recognize the suffering of these women.
This is so sad, and so terribly unfair and wrong. May they all rest in peace.
Thank you for posting these photos...it is so important to remember and realize.
My post of October 31st has info on the Pendle Hill Witches in Northern England in 1612, more gory business, just to please the king who didnt like "Witches"
