Was thinking about this the other day. We are taught that the people running the Salem Witch Trials were "crazy" ( essentially )

But labor was in short supply, and you didn't just kill your people for fun, at least not if you wanted to keep a society.

So either the entire society was crazy, or something weird was going on up there.
