Modern-Day Witchcraft
Author: Keith Humphry, News 7 Source: WDBJ-7 (VA)
Title: MODERN-DAY WITCHCRAFT
The University of Virginia has opened a new window on one of the most troubling and complex events in American judicial history. We're talking about the Salem Witch Trials.
News7's Keith Humphry went to UVa to examine the trial record. But you don't have to go to Charlottesville to view the documents, they're all available online.
Everything from arrest warrants, to indictments, depositions, transcripts of the witch trials themselves, everything is there at the click of a mouse.
It's the work of UVa religion professor Benjamin Ray. Dr. Ray is reviewing the case of John Willard, one of 20 men and women tried and executed for the crime of witchcraft in 1692.
The story of the Salem Witch Trials was told in the CBS mini-series in 2002. Professor Ray and his colleagues have applied computer technology to thousands of documents, enabling students to word search more than 1,600 names.
