Explanation:

Hello! William Griggs, the villa's doctor, examined sick women and diagnosed them "under a spell." This would lead to the trials of the so-called Salem Witches (1692 - 1693) in Massachusetts. Which would lead to 19 people killed by hanging, others imprisoned and tortured to confess their alleged guilt.
