Faust Checho asks “What really caused the Salem Witch Trials of 1692” as scientists have recently unearthed new evidence that the rye in Salem, Massachusetts during the time could have been infected with ergot, a fungus that causes the formation of lysergic acid diethylamide.

This famous compound could have perfectly explained all of the convulsing and insane activity exhibited by the young women labeled as witches during the time in Salem, and unfortunately may have led to many deaths during this crazy point in American history.
