Ohhh boy I’m a total bookworm I’d be DOOMED!!
@Victoria Jane yes, but actually yes
I just had a thought about Tituba. She said “The devil came to me and bid me serve him.” Given that she was Reverend Parris’ slave,,, she definitely wasn’t lying 👀
yooooo
WWOOOAAAAHHHHH
Good God. It took me quite the moment to work that out!
I agreeeeee
Weirdly that quote is similar to tex watsons quote “I’m the devil and I’m here to do the devils work” during the sharron tate murders.
Can someone elaborate on this? I don't get it
"i may present some theories as to why the witch trials happened"
misogyny.
Men where also prosecuted in the trials.
@@CharinVZain and you know why? is cos they belived the men were influenced by the witches(women) , men could not be a witch.
@@annabaked2954 it literally said in the video they believed the man was the leader of the witches if I'm not mistaken. Although I'm not denying it I don't think misogyny is the real cause personally especially when medical/economic arguments seem to have more merit
@@tolleyt8270 i mean, what you said is true but its doesnt disvalue what isaid, other man could still think they are influenced by women.
@@annabaked2954 I didn't disvalue it
the most bravest man besides Shane is the camera man
Jenifer Mejia yep
there is lmao then how are they being filmed from the back
They've mentioned a camera man several times, lmao.
Does anyone know who's the cameraman?
He's even braver because he has to be silent. If I were that camera man...it'd be hard to find good footage because I'd be looking behind me in the dark all the time. Actually, following them into these places would even be a stretch. I'd probably be like "I'm actually just going to stand right here... I can see you fine from here... I'll just zoom in." Car keys in hand.
on second thought... I'd be fired the first day.
Back in the 1700’s:
Woman: breathes
Every man in the town: *You weren’t supposed to do that*
Considering it was actually women that did the accusations of witchcraft and some of the accused were men... Not really?
If she breathes she's a witch
bruh
YamaSlushy lol their point still stands. yes men were also accused, but all the women that were accused were solely accused because they didn't conform to societal standards back then. & yea it was women who accused them, but the point still remains the same.
@@fannieizzle7350 I was simply correcting them that women were also accusers, not denying that women were the main victims.
shane is lowkey the type of person who would see the devil personally and film it, then say that it was just a tree
...no. Just no. He would clearly say "It's just a person dressed up like Satan."
the devil:👁👄👁
This would be funny if anything remotely close to this ever happened but we will never see this because ghosts aren't real and neither are demons
Fun fact:
The youngest person to be accused of practicing witchcraft was a 4 year old girl named Dorothy Good. She was imprisoned for 8 months before being released.
Her mother, Sarah Good, was also accused and imprisoned but not released..Sarah Good had a baby in prison named Mercy,
But Mercy died shortly after birth (probably because of malnourishment and the harsh conditions in prison.)
and Sarah was hanged. She was only 38-39 years old when she was hanged.
That's so sad.
"she was only 38-39" despite the fact that the average life expectancy was less than 40.
@@Dismuth i've actually heard that life expectancy averages were dragged down because of all the kids that died young (but that's what my history teacher told us)
@@Dismuth average only because so many people died in infancy, bringing down the average. Taking into account people who reached adulthood, many people lived into their 60s.
thats despicable! poor infant! such a shame he or she couldnt get better food and conditions!

Kerri Lamothe Dude, ikr.
Seems to me that if women quit buying stuff without pockets maybe the clothing manufacturers will get the hint. However, being male and not involved in the fashion industry, I could be wrong. Personally I don't buy shorts without pockets and if you think about it a certain way even my drawers have a pocket. Though from the male perspective, we don't have enough pockets because we always have to carry our girlfriends' wallets, phones, and possibly cigarettes. I have to wear cargo pants when I have a girlfriend. On a side note, someone once said that when a man stops wearing pockets he no longer cares about life.
@@revwroth3698 Sure. But when like 90% of stuff sold doesn't have pockets it's kind of difficult to refuse to buy some of that stuff. Even the few jeans that I have that do happen to have pockets can only really fit my mobile if I'm lucky. I guess I could just refuse to buy new pants and winnie the pooh-it from now on lmao.
Ps. I'm surprised that u always carry your gf's stuff because my experience has been the opposite. Since I often have to carry a purse or backpack (because no pockets) the guys around me tend to ask me to carry their stuff because they only have their pockets lol
When I was younger my teacher decided to play a game called witch trials, she would go around the class and if she tapped on the shoulder you would be the witch, your job would be to make sure that you don’t get eliminated in stay undercover, and if you were a civilian your job would be to eliminate the witch at the end of the class, when nobody could figure out who the witch was we ask the teacher “who is the witch” and she responded “no one just like the actual witch trials”
we did this too with hunters and judges like mafia
That's head up 7 up
Among us but in the 1600s
@@Yourhamsandwich No, it's not.
I know she wasn’t actually a snob about it but the quote “no one just like the actual trials” sounded like she played 4D chest in her head and thought it was cool.
My favorite part of the Salem witch trials is how everyone goes along with it up until the governor's wife was interrogated. Then he quickly shut it all down. So those in power knew it was all B.S. They just killed ppl for fun.
I remember having a history teacher that made us go to a museum that explored the theme of scapegoats in history.
I initially hated the idea but quickly thought it was the most interesting thing I've seen.
Humans have a history of making scapegoats, from why there was a dry season, to the way they sacrificed people in different cultures, it seems to be part of our human nature to try blame someone for our misfortunes.
Like, several children were sacrificed for a field not granting as much wheat as it was supposed to, how the story of Jesus is the fiest time we have decided to actually openly mourn a scapegoat, and they discussed the witchhunt.
The witchhunt is an interesting one, because it seems to be associated with shifting blame for something in society.
The reason why I say this is because your comment almost makes it seem like the governor was just out to execute women for the heck of it, or that mysoginy is all the explanation this topic requires. Sexism punishes men and women, while it was an era of women being executed, it was also an era of men watching their loved ones burn, unable to grief their loss because it implied they were accomplices of their "crimes".
I think when we reflect of the witch hunt, we should not put all the weight on the notion that mysoginy is problematic, but check if we have been engaging in the witchhunt (in a modern transformed way) today. Have we maybr unloaded our frustration by searching for a scapegoat? We like to do that.
@@corneliahanimann2173I mean I'm just confused because OP didn't mention misogyny
@@bdkplaysx I am not sure if mysoginy then can be compared tl mysoginy today
Yep true the knew those poor innocent people were not really witches but still killed them for pleasure.
Prolly not just for some fun, they were probably getting some societal or political gain from it

I often think about the fact that they dressed up in “period specific clothing” to talk to the ghosts. Ryan and Shane literally dressed up as the people who killed them thinking the they’ll feel right at home.
I really love the shot at 16:07. Theres just a house in the background, imagine living there and looking out the window and seeing two guys in party city period clothing and a camera crew in normal clothes standing in top of gallows hill. Idk what id do

I remember we had to read "The Witch of Blackbird Pond" for school but it was the book "Tituba of Salem Village" that really got me into the Salem Witch Trials. On team "Tituba was pragmatic" and the girls were a mix of social factors (our minds do play tricks amplified by peer pressure, unconsciously seeking praise, boredom...)
Also read Witch of Blackbird Pond! Loved it.
8:05 - 8:14 You can see the remarkable paranormal occurrence of Ryan accidentally becoming Shane for nine seconds.

Yep. Literally every method Ryan uses for detecting "Ghost" has been debunked/explained, which is akin to him claiming levitation, when we know wires & harnesses exist.

My English teacher was talking about this the other day and said that the trials came up because people were having issues with land and wanted to accuse others to steal their land. Children and woman accusing adults of witchcraft probably came about because (possibly) men wanted to blame others as revenge or to steal their land but they themselves didn't want it to be thrown back onto them so they decided they would rather risk their daughters/wives than risk themselves.
I actually lost one of my ancestors in the salem witch trials! Ironically my family are witches, we're wiccan

I'm a direct descendant of the guy who was pressed to death in Salem, so I always love to see people investigate this! What I appreciate most here is that they went to Danvers. Danvers is today what Salem Village was in the time of the witchcraft trials. The town that is Salem today is not actually the location of the trials, even though they push the most touristy attractions, which is fun if you are looking for cheesy goodness (I am a personal fan of the Salem Witch Museum with the animatronics) but not necessarily very accurate.
jeez, i'm so sorry. also that's really interesting, i never knew that. I just assumed that because it's called Salem that they just removed the word village at some point in time.
@@momo5734 It's pretty interesting - in the olden days, Salem was split into two sections: Salem Village and Salem Town. Salem Village was mostly farmlands and had a much poorer population, whereas Salem Town was full of wealthy people and merchants. Salem Village is where the witchcraft stuff went down and was later renamed Danvers; Salem Town was shortened to Salem.
Also don't be sorry; Giles was a horrible person and a complete jerk.

I grew up in Salem! My uncle runs a history tour through there and used to tell me which buildings are haunted because of the Trials (spoiler: if it's a hotel, it's haunted), so cool to see Shane and Ryan visit!

The Idiot Guide To Middle School lmao
Sometimes I wonder, since it was mostly women and between such young ages such as 9-20 years old, wether the men of the community just accused them to cover up sexual assault ..
Like who are people gonna believe? A girl that’s accused to be in cahoots with the literal devil and has supposedly done unspeakable acts or the “good, hardworking and law-abiding” man from down the street?
You know? It’s like this “if you tell anyone I’ll accuse you of witchcraft” or something
A terrible, terrible game with no winners, really :/
I don't think there was a need for such and elaborate argument for that, SA in modern conceptions of it, was pretty normal all around
Well it would kinda make sense but not really because women were being assaulted then punished for enticing the men so it never mattered anyways if you came out you were punished same as today
Have always found the Salem Witch Trials absolutely fascinating. Particularly as someone who can trace ancestry back to Martha Carrier, who was executed during the trials, seeing how the fear of the unknown and mob mentality resulted in so many deaths is just astounding. Thanks for covering it

Well, that must be impossible
*get it?*
Being in a house like that would just be unbelievable, literally, like you're standing in the place humans decided the fate of other humans, touching and standing where people did in the 1600s. It's just unbelievable and hard to wrap your head around, especially when the homes are repaired and taken care of. Also not a lot must have been happening in the 1690s, just so bored you decided "witchcraft"
I love Ryan but someone could literally fart in to the microphone and he say it was a ghost reciting the pledge of allegiance

Y’all, i don’t care if they tried to copy my joke, everybody can see i made the joke, it doesn’t matter, so chill guys. (you’re awesome though)
击ChemicalCheezWhiz oh ok. They’re just jealous they can’t think of a joke, thats why they copy jokes in the reply section
I'm literally In this comment section to look for his replies lol
ryan is getting braver and braver every episode
13 Nova IKR I'M SO PROUD OF HIM 💓😭
13 Nova Because there's nothing to be afraid of
unlike me who needs a blanket to hide under since it's thundering and super dark outside
plz help i'm hiding out in the comments xD
Mathew Clark Your starting to sound like Shane
Okay now I'm legitimately scared since it started thundering within 5 minutes of watching the episode (it rarely storms here) and the sky is completely red and pink THE SKY IS BLEEDING
who's been pulling every evil string?
IT'S BEEN AGATHA ALL ALONG
Fun fact: I’m a direct descendant of John hathorne and I visit Salem almost every year
wow really?? how’d you find out :)
Wasn’t he that closed-minded judge who refused to believe the girls could be lying ?
Everyone who confessed to witchcraft in the trials was forced to with the threat of torture and death. All of the people who were killed were completely innocent.
@@terryslittlewhore I'm pretty sure they saw witches more like satanists because they really didn't accept other religions. I bet if someone had a different religion that wasn't even Wiccan or Pagan they would slap "Satanist" on them and kill them. But yeah witches really aren't bad.
When you’re a witch yourself 😌
@@terryslittlewhore And yet, churches continue to cover up rape and child molestation. Go figure...
@@loldawr3199 sameee!😀
@@terryslittlewhore I dont think you understand. In Christianity back then witchcraft mean you tapped into the demonic. Satanism is a little pretend cult where people draw funny circles into the ground and usually none of them know what Satan is, or what he has done. Real Satan worshipping is only caused by demonic influence, and is harmful to everyone including the person who worships Satan. Satan is the one who caused the world to suck for mankind, if he didn’t exist, there would be no death or sadness or sorrow. And the Devil does not give humans anything, he simply wants to see us all go to hell regardless who we are or what we have done. He is not the one who punishes evil, God is.
Just once, I want to see Shane get spooked out of his socks. I wanna see the skeptic scream like a little baby
this comment was creepy as hell but i agree i would love to see shane get scared!
SydDrawsStuff I'm pretty sure he did get scared and really spooked at one of the haunted places like Bobby Mack or waverly hills or something. I'm pretty sure it was one of their ghost hunts which it seems they mainly do anymore. Did they do Elisa lam? I can't remember what Shane's theory was on that. And there's sooo much more mysteries to look into still like the lead glasses men, the rendlesham air base sightings, Area 51, the bell witch, michael Rockefeller disappearance, etc
Well.. he got scared at Queen Mary because a dove blew out of the blue and ryan screamed and shane screamed and the crew screamed lol
I watch every video w that hope
And when the ball rolled under Ryan's name which was painted on the wal
Is it weird to say that buzzfeed unsolved videos (only Ryan and Shane) are my comfort TH-cam videos.😅
can't believe the last season of BuzzFeed Unsolved started
ik :(
Sounds like the slave "Tituba" was pretty freakin' smart. She goes along with it and doesn't get set on fire...
No one was set on fire...
Also why do you have Tituba written in quotes?
@@TotosTales witches were burned.
@@hannahl5838 not in the witch trails
@@hannahl5838 in the salem witch trials no one was burned most who were executed were hung and some died in prison but no one was burned
Ryan: As part of our continuing investigation 'Are ghosts real?'
Shane: *looks at camera and shakes head*
Is this Parks and Rex?
Claire Walker "Parks and Rex"? Do you mean Jurassic park?
God Amongst Men no he means parks and recreation

Honestly that "take it" that the audio picked up just sounded like a sneeze
I lived in Boston for 6 years, and I loved going to Salem, the town and house are absolutely wonderful... great episode!!!
Wouldn't be Buzzfeed Unsolved without the wheezing.
The best thing.

Shane talking about the people in France that danced till they died was so funny to me. I’m glad Ryan paid attention to him due to the Professor having a whole lesson on it on Watcher

KaZ Smith oooo yes please
KaZ Smith ugh yes it's such a cool story
KaZ Smith YES
It’s really hard for me to process information but these videos are helping me a lot with history it also helped with when I moved or when I was sick or bored. I want to thank Shane and Ryan for helping me with a lot!
POV: you're a modern witch, watching Ryan fully dismiss witchcraft, knowing full well that the only reason he hasn't been murked by a supernatural force is that someone has cast a strong af protection spell on him
POV: u are delusional
orrrrr hear me out, he doesn't believe in it, therefore, it can't affect him.
@@voidd.4095 buddy youre watching two grown men wander around looking for ghosts you don’t get to tell witches theyre delusional lmfao
@@notahumanbeing6892 she’s delusional for saying a SKEPTIC is being protected by a supernatural force. If she’s a Wiccan then she should under what a skeptic is
@voidd. so I'm just freaking nonexistent now???
I feel like Tituba was just pragmatic enough to think: “These people won’t believe me if I deny it, maybe if I confess and beg for mercy they may let me live”
Puritans believed that those who served the devil and were penitent for it, could be returned to God. If a witch confessed and seeker forgiveness, forgiveness could be granted. Puritan also believed, however, that lying was one of the worst possible sins to commit. That’s why Tituba, ( who was a slave and had no real reason to be a devout Puritan.) simply lied about her compact with the devil, and acted as if she had tried to prevent him, making herself out to be something of a “ spy for god.” Few other accused did this, simply because of the fear that lying was a one-way ticket to hell, and would’ve rather been killed as innocents professing their innocence, than liars who lived.
The thing is, thats how it worked. If you confessed, you didnt die by hanging. If you refused to confess, you die. One thing to note that wasnt in the video, when they were in jail, they were stripped. This was done to see if the accused had special markings said to be left by serpents or demons which is wrong in so many ways.
Here's the thing though, you died either way because they were so rampant with accusing people during this time, no matter what you said, you almost always got convicted
Elie Siegel not exactly. Puritans were zealots but they weren’t psychopaths, they had their own logic ( no matter how senseless to us now) They based everything off of the doctrine of the bible which preached forgiveness. If a witch confessed to making a pact with the devil it was believed that her would could be saved as long as she was to repent for her wickedness. So if one was accused, it would be wisest to say “ Yes I am a witch, and Lucifer bade me do his bidding, but I am full of regret and want to open myself to God.” The reason why everyone didn’t just say that to save their skins was because lying is a mortal sin, and obviously nobody made pact with the devil and would’ve had to lie about being witches. A devout Puritan would never lie about anything like that because they believed they would’ve gone to hell.
TLDR: Puritans were not crazy, they were zealots, and if a witch sought forgiveness for her sins ( as Tituba claimed to do.) they would’ve been released of the charge. Why didn’t everyone just do that? Because lying is a deadly sin and they didn’t want to go to hell.
Narmatonia omfg that’s what I was thinking “those white women have a chance but damn I’m gonna just play along”
You guys honestly have to prank Shane one episode. Would be the best thing ever.
