The Salem Witchcraft Papers

When John Proctor was being investigated for witchcraft, his accusers submitted spectral evidence against him. The only building still standing in Salem today that has any connections to the witch trials is the Jonathan Corwin house - also called the Salem Witch House. Both Proctors were convicted in August 1692 and hanged on Gallows Hill; Elizabeth received a stay of execution because she was pregnant. Historians suspect family members may have retrieved his body from Gallows Hill in the night.
