America's Hidden Stories S01E01 - Salem's Secrets

In 1692, the townspeople of Salem, Massachusetts found themselves in a panic over witchcraft. But after several months, the paranoia and violence ended almost as quickly as it began.

Today, a group of historians uncovers new information about the infamous witch hunt in an effort to answer its most enduring mysteries. They use 3D computer mappings techniques and ground-penetrating radar to rediscover the long-lost site of the witch hangings.
