The Events Leading Up To Giles Corey's Death

I will attempt to explain to you in great detail the events that occurred from September 9th-22nd. It is unfortunate that your grandmother and grandfather, Giles Corey and Martha Corey were executed so brutally and wrongfully. The people of Salem are religious to a fault, which caused unnecessary violence, biased courts, and resulted in a severely skewed perception of reality, First, the Puritans are considered an extremist religious group. For example, it is illegal to skip church, women aren’t treated as equals, and believe every wrongdoing is punishable by God. Furthermore, you must understand these are not necessarily good people at heart. In fact, Puritans live an intolerant, bigoted, narcissistic lifestyle; believing anybody who isn’t a devoted man of God is being influenced Satan. Now that you have background information on their lifestyle, I will explain the events leading up to Giles and Martha Corey’s death.

These people are: Ann Putnam Jr., Mercy Lewis, and Abigail Williams. What was their evidence to support witchcraft? Spectral analysis. Essentially, Giles Corey’s “ghost” appeared to them while they were sleeping, and requested they sign the devil’s book. Keep in mind, Giles Corey was still alive during these specter encounters. Unfortunately, your grandfather did not enter any plea and was indicted for witchcraft. Beginning on September 17th, Giles Corey began to be pressed to death. He tragically died on September 19, and your grandmother was hanged on September
