Description
More than 300 years after the Salem witch trials led to the deaths of 19 innocent people, behavioral psychologist Linnda Caporael has been searching for a rational explanation for the symptoms of bewitchment. Her work has sparked an investigation into wrenching convulsions, vivid deliriums, contaminated crops, hallucinogenic drugs, and a murder victim buried in a bog for 2,300 years. Was bread tainted with toxic fungus the real cause of the symptoms in Salem? Is this the same fungus from which LSD is derived? Can history's devastating witch hunts finally be explained?
