V.T. 8802   Unsolved History: the Salem Witch Trials      c2003    (50 min)
21st Century investigators examine the 17th century groundswell of anti-witch sentiment from a scientific viewpoint, testing some of the theories that have been proposed over the years. Researchers test whether mass psychosis triggered by moldy bread could have been responsible for the hysteria, or whether an outbreak of encephalitis - an inflammation of the brain that often causes fever and delusions - could have been the culprit. Historians point to severe stress among the populace caused by the repressive Puritan way of life, while others suggest a more mundane cause: The witch trials may have been an attempt to seize land from the wealthy accused. Finally, experts examine some of the "tests" and "interrogation methods" used to extract confessions from the accused, revealing the ineffectiveness of these methods and - more importantly - what their savagery says about the ability of the human body to withstand undue stress.
