  • as a wiccan...knowing that it could have been me.......

  • They should say the names of all the woman hang my ancestor was hung too her name was sarah averill she would come to be my 10th great grandmother

  • it was a colony of brits over there you lot probably know this but i didnt have a clue until i watched that show, you have to understand i never knew massachusetts had so many places with our names like plymouth, essex, manchester etc so i assumed it happened here i cant believe its taken me this long to find out, i dont think my parents even know it happened in US, good history lesson for me. Nurse was born in great yarmouth, i go there for weekend breaks regularly.. lovely place.

  • fucks sake... all this damn time i thought the salem witch trials happened here in the UK, i live in essex in the UK! so i wasnt feeling too well, was downstairs at night, nothing on tv, so i watched this short tv movie "salem witch trials" and it started and they was all wearing old english clothes and they was talking in american accents and i was thinking to myself "why are they talking with american accents, are they bad actors?" man did i learn alot from that 1 hour tv movie

  • i read the role of rebecca nurse and one of my best guy friends read the part of her husband in english class. this is sad :(

  • is this a real video of them or not ?

  • @xLuuvvaa it happened in 1692 lol... so no this isnt real

  • @xLuuvvaa Oh, I don't know, the Salem Witch Trials were in the late 1600's, so I guess cameras would be invented by then.

  • it's unbelievable that the little (and big) bitches that were responsible for all this were never held to account whatsoever. If someone had lied and gotten my mother hanged, I would be taking care of business, even if it took me years, I'd take care of paying people back.

  • Rebecca Nurse is my ancestor! oh and who ever said they were drowned.. thats a lie! also they changed the last name, the last name now is Nourse! my great grandfather died last year and his name was Ernest Nourse and i asked him before he died and he said that is was true! Oh and btw who ever says that what i said isn't true I dont know you, you dont know me! so dont tell me the facts that you think you know! but the facts that I know. so fuck all you haterz!

  • may abigail williams burn in the lowest pit of hell, if there is a hell.

  • Fuck religion.

  • People were so barbaric and cruel back then. People came to see hangings/beheadings/whippings/­tortures/any kind of horrible executions in the streets like it was some kind of entertainment. Those little kids who saw those things.... I can't believe people enjoyed that. They had to enjoy it if they came to see it live. I guess it's about mentalities but how come there was no one to defend them. There were smart philosophers/writers etc. yet the evolution into a real civilisation was so slow! :/

  • @BaByXgIrL We are no different with our violent movies and TV shows. We are a race of voyeurism.

  • MAN THAT IS REALLY STUPID SHOWING THE MAN HOLDING THEM UP INTO THE TOP -- HE COULDN'T NOT HAVE DOWN THAT. AND THEY WERE ALSO JUST A TOY THING, NOT A REAL PERSON.

  • @ squatch watcher god doesn't kill people.People kill people.

  • @djmvfamily

    More often than not in the name of God.

  • Why believe in God if He allows things like this or the atrocities in Africa or South America to happen? When will it all stop?

  • what video is this from was it a movie?

  • @BVBscreamoqueen101 i hope back then all of those assholes burn in hell

  • those people should be the one to die for what they did

    burn in hell ass.,...

  • @demonspitt Excuse me?

  • the recording sucked balls u fat fuck!

  • Sorry, just noticed the title of it :P this was very disturbing to me... :O

  • We just watched this film in our Civics class. What is the name of this film??

  • July 19th is my birthday xD

  • @demonspitt puratans hun not christans

  • I am a descendant of Samuel Wardwell.

    

  • HEY its almost july 19!!

  • bad recording skills...

  • For the record, none of them were witches because witches don't really exist. No one can do mumbo-jumbo and really make magical things happen.

  • Rebecca was my ancestor and i will make things right !!! But i am what people would call a witch in that time and this. What happened in Salem has no end just as i dont.Who stood in their defense?For all the generations who would stand and defend Gods truest children.From Christ till now i have seen the true faith of humanity and i see nothing!!! THE MURDERERS WERE NEVER CHRISTIANS !!! The only Christians in Salem died proving their faith. I HAVNT FORGOTTEN !!!

  • @gregoryz3 Rebecca nurse is also a relation of mine and I am a white witch and will never forget what they did to her!!!

  • @jenxa1999 thats is so cool!i too shall not forgive these pigs of what they did to Rebecca Nurse!

  • Yay for crazy people!

  • Poor Sarah Good. Dying because of a lie by some attention hungry little bitches.

  • 1.Witches arn't what they say,we are not bad. And 2... This video made me cry.

  • Rebecca Nurse is one of my ancestors. She was accused of being a witch, and unfortunately, she suffered the consequences of the time she lived in. Her family had her 'pardoned' in 1977.

    I have yet to visit her homestead...I can't wait til I do!

  • @TerriLynnMahusky I actually visited her homestead about a month ago, it is in amazing shape and very beautiful and interesting.

  • Why did they kill the Witches, sometimes witches are servants of nature, can help us.

  • Praise the Lord, kill the unbelievers. Allah Achbar, kill the Infidels. My God is Bigger that Your God, My God's bigger than yours, My God's Bigger than your God, and Hell is big enough for both of you.

  • @demonspitt I wouldn't agree! It is not Christianity but the people who hid behind Christianity!!! Salem Witch Trials, Spanish Inquisition, Crusade wars. They all hid behind CHRIST! It's still happening! They believe because going to church they are good christians but they step out they begin judging, gossping and so much more... They interpret as they want something to be, not as it really is.

  • @32Lilith With all due respect to you, these people were not 'hiding' behind their religion. They were doing exactly what their religion tells them to do. The practise of witchcraft is punishable by death, according to the Bible. Therefore, people found guilty of witchcraft were hanged. Of course, you can cherry-pick the 'nice bits' of the Bible about forgiveness and charity (and luckily that's what most people do) but the horrible stuff is in there as well; genocide, slavery etc etc.

  • religion in all its forms is the last refuge of assholes, why do so manys Americans subscribe to it?

  • @89maisie there's this church that's by my house and on it's board it says: Believe in Jesus not a religion.

  • ALL religeon is the last refuge of assholes! the yanks in particular seem to believe in fairytails

  • This could have been your Mother or Grandma-- so think about that for a minute <3

  • This was a very well done movie. Not well known , but done quite accurately and created from many of the actual Trial Transcripts :) Three Sovereigns for Sara- Great Movie <3

  • Women have always been persecuted and degraded by religion. Big Brave men....killing innocent women.

  • Women have always been persecuted and degraded by religion.

  • @demonspitt

    how about we don't blame Christians like everyones freaking default seems to be......seriously those girls were messed up and apparently the adults just plain idoits

  • @rent8907 no some one didn't like them so they called out they were a witch

    being fucking stupid they should be the ones to die

    hope they burn in hell 

  • Comment removed

  • arent sarah good and rebecca nurse in the crucible too?

  • Rebecca Nurse's sons buried her under their home, because they knew for a fact she was not a witch. I called my mom Rebecca Nurse as a symbol for how much I love her, but she freaked out haha

  • For the record, Rebecca Nurse was never a witch. For being so old, she had no objection to death.

  • @vaginawhisperer100 Bullshit you little slime ball. She did not deserve to die for using herbs and wisdom to heal the sick...you are stupid, so you should have no objection to death...

  • @Kisinkona What you don't understand, for never reading correctly, is what I stated: "REBECCA NURSE WAS NEVER A WITCH." Didn't catch that, did you? I forgive you, for both never picking up a book, and for having terrible pun in your insults. It's obvious she said nothing when dieing because she was old. Maybe I should written it like that since you don't understand the more proper version. Again, I forgive you.

  • @Kisinkona You should learn to read the comments and understand them before you go off on someone.

  • @vaginawhisperer100 ok well for someone with a name like "vaginawhisperer" i have very little respect for what you have to say.

  • I did i'm just new and i kind of got things mixed up. SORRY:(

  • I am feeling quite ill now.

  • this made me cry R I P

  • This makes me sick. To think just how far people will go when it comes to their religion is appalling to me, because how can someone worship any God who commands you to kill another in his name? How can a person justify killing another person because they exemplify something "odd" about them? Religion baffles me, and I think it is wrong because a person is a person, and who is to say one life is greater than another? The only thing religion does is promote hate, and intolerance of others.

  • So you people are saying that people of other religions haven't committed horrible crimes as well? That only the Christians are hypocrites? Not trying to put words in your mouth, just what I'm getting from these comments. From what I know, the Salem trials were not even religiously driven...people were greedy and wanted revenge, so they falsely accused people. Why is religion a debate here? This happened forever ago.

  • If you are going to reply back to my comment. Please have good grammar. Also, if you're going to argue, come with some actual intelligents. I don't talk to ignorant people.

  • fuckin epic quality 

  • they didn't hang them they drowned them, about 20 victims and the

    people recanted and paid money to the families

  • those who did this was not Christians

  • sad sad sad

  • wait what is this from? is it from a movie?

  • @NedraDawn yes The Crucible

  • yeah people back then were robots who allowed people to manipulate them into anything they were listening to..such ignorants!!..but today if we look back...those who killed have more guild than those they killed...these poor people who had to die to satisfy others...rest in peace!!

  • It really is sad, the victims of the Salem witch trials, but...also interesting.

  • @SweetSweetMiss It looked like a old fashioned tobacco pipe to me.

  • it is based on a very very true story tho.. which makes it sad

  • What sick bastard would think this was a good idea?

  • I CAN TAKE AT LEAST 10 GUYS WITH ME,WEAKLINGS.....)0(

  • That doesn't seem very realistic to me dude.

  • @evilangel1909 of course its not real the Salem witch trials happened in 1692, do u really think they had video cameras back then? they weren't invented 'til the 1920's

  • @ChuckBassIsUnreal I said Realistic. Not real. I know it's not real, I'm not retarded. But in the description they say it's very vivid. Doesn't look so to me. It looks completely fake.

  • @evilangel1909 oh sorry my mistake, the costumes and acting are alright tho ive seen worse reinactments

  • @PrinceLordChris Everyone has forgotten this wasn't in the

    time we live in now, but in a time where women and girls still wore

    dresses and bonnets. The year was the 1600s.

  • @Khantikone123 I heard in class they were buried in shallow

    dirt.

  • Yuh Do Realize This Video Kinda Sucks..... And It was Recorded Off A Tv (Illegal)... And Yuh Fussed With The Camera Too Much... And Yuh Said Look Away.... IT'S ALL FAKE, FROM A MOVIE

  • @ConGirlxoxo Obviously it's from a movie. But it's a reenactment of an actual hanging and it's pretty graphic.

  • oddly enough 2 dogs were killed as well

  • Lol im only watching this cuz we were watching this in us history :3

  • the lil girl was all like wtf woman im right here dont be saying tht

  • @Khantikone123 Living near Salem, MA I can tell you that there are gravestones in Salem for these people, but Rebecca Nurse's body (the older woman) is actually buried in Danvers. Her family secretly dug up the body from a shallow grave and buried her on what is now known as The Rebecca Nurse Homestead cemetary in Danvers, (which used to be "Salem Village") MA.

  • @Commentarian1 Many did try to escape, but only a few were successful. The courts even sent men all the way up to Maine to arrest certain individuals. Most were grabbed before they knew what was happening.

  • the puritans were so scared of the witch hysteria that they went as far as hanging a dog.

  • Im not saying at all that i justify the hangings of the Salem witch trials but it has to be kept in mind that all this happened during a period of mass hysteria. The same thing was going on in England and other places as well and word would travel that the devil was around. Plus the puritan children were not aloud to "play" because it was seen as evil at the time. There is no point trying to put logic on something that happened in the 1600s. It was a different time then with different beliefs

  • @kimmyann94 Agreed. Most people on here don't realize The

    Salem Witch Trials happend in the 1600s, a time where lots of

    things were considered evil. You're right on the hysteria, too. And

    they also don't realize these are true events, that happened in Salem, Massachusetts. Innocent people died just as the wicked did. This isn't even funny! How is the hanging of innocent and even guilty people even close to being funny? I'm not talking about you, though.

  • @beautiflytragic its about power over other humans not about god

  • not the nurse D: she willingly chose death.

  • @KoiNohappygolucky i didn't think the portrayal of the salem witch trials was that great in this movie, but it is still so sad the nurse died. its like an angel willingly chosing to die for being accused for being a witch. Just seems so sad because i imagine this happening to somebody during this time of life with nobody defending a good person.

  • what was that that fell to the ground?

  • @wordsworth727

    It was sara good's pipe

  • There isn't really anything wrong with being a Witch. It's just People back then thought that they worshipped Satan so they thought that they had the right to do "GODS" work and get rid of them when in fact they were just sinners looking for something to do that justified their actions. Witches don't even believe in the Devil. The creepy thing is that these innocent women died on my birthday. Makes me sad.

  • @beautiflytragic well they were ill informed puratints not even the Catholics applauded them. lol this is why im happy im prodastant. my history is much more clean than others can say

  • @MrMeineNamen

    ...you're still in the same boat as ALL Christians on this one. You still believe in the same GOD.

  • @kaox44 no i am most certanly not haha no offense but your religious history may wanna be brushed up a little. jews believe in the same god but we arent in the same "boat"

  • @MrMeineNamen

    Really? So you don't read the same scriptures as other Christians? No matter how hard you try to rationalize your position, you're still in the same boat.

  • @kaox44 wtf? like i said before. no i dont neccisarily the Catholics do tend to remove some of their scriptures from the bible or add some. i read both new and old tesitiment. the jews read the old testimite but like i said before they arent in the "same boat" neither are prodestants and catholics

  • @MrMeineNamen

    It doesn't matter if you're a Jew, Protestant, Lutheranism, Catholicism, various forms of Orthodox Christianity, Methodism, Episcopalian, Baptist, etc. You still pray and believe in Yahweh, therefore, your morals and values comes from the same holy book. I can't believe you think you're the superior special group, this is why religion(s) doesn't work and will never work in the real world. Acting like you don't know and you are somewhat special. MY-GOD!

  • @kaox44 WTF??? i never said i was supiror to ANYONE i said my religion has a cleaner past! its common historical knowlege now quit bugging me about this unless you wanna say something thats not based on your own religious opinions

  • @MrMeineNamen

    ...sure, why not. Whatever makes you happy.

  • lmfao

  • @FiswaT The hanging of people is funny to you?

  • @KellyXXD1 Is it necessary for you to reply to EVER comment on this old ass video we forgot about? And yes, it is often funny.

  • @FiswaT That's quite . . . . disturbing. The video was new to me.

    I've seen the movie in English class in school when we were

    learning about the Salem Witch Trials. Interesting stuff.

  • @beautiflytragic remeber the trials were all started by a rumor that changed the course of history. Three real witches were the teens who strated the whole damn thing.

  • @countrywillneverdie Like the movie The Craft? The Witch Trials really started for Tiscumbia, a female slave who used egg yolk to see into the future. It was joke the 13 year old girls liked to mess with, but when one girl's father witnessed it, he saw it as the work of the devil, and convinced everyone one the same. It helped his case when the girls went delusional and twitched, whispering "Tiscumbia..."

  • @casket095 Why Are you Actually Arguing Over wether it was murder or not... did the use of words actually offend you? Guess So you Childish Moron.

  • most of these poor women and men were not even pagans (witches) they were christians then selfs, some i'm sure were herblist,women who help the farmers and the people with medicines and such things, but they were not bad people and never derserve this even if they were witches. May there souls now rest in peace and the hearts be healed and least we not forget the lessons that should be learnt.

  • @beautiflytragic There's nothing to understand. They're misogynist pedophiles slaver bastards.

  • @hardcoded Buddy.... F*** You... Honestly...

  • @ZAPOfficial Well, fuck you AND your shit religion. Buddy.

  • How can Christians say they are loving? How could they be soo proud of what they did to innocent people? Just because they have a different faith then thiers. It such a big shame on them. How can they live with their self?

  • @XxAmdisxX Keep in mind this was in the 1600s. And lots of things

    were considered to be evil and wicked.

  • @KellyXXD1 Agreed. You are right. I think people back then were scared of almost everything, even their own shadows.

  • @XxAmdisxX because they are witches... and all witches need to burn in hell

  • @lgeklsflz are you serious or are you being sarcastic? This is no laughing matter! This is real even if witches are real,no one deserves to die like this or any other painful way!

  • @lgeklsflz Remember Killing is a sin. So all your Christians went against that. So guest where they're chilling now? Oh thats right, their hell. You're completely ignorant for what you just said.

  • @XxAmdisxX i aint no christian boi

  • @lgeklsflz I'm a girl, "boi". Go fix your grammar. Then please come back when you have some intelligents. I don't talk to ignorant people.

  • @XxAmdisxX even if your not a Christian how could you say that! Witches are real but they heal people they do good thing(unlike you) and you stile think that the should burn and go to hell? You know that witches call them selfs witches cause thats there religion. They are just regular people! BTW you need some intelligents!

  • @sweetlemon8821 You better be pointing towards the idiot(Igeklsflz) . 'Cause I knew that. I'm wiccan, ya think I don't know that. Please read everything before you open your mouth.

  • @XxAmdisxX well sorry!!! I'M JUST SO MAD AT THAT DUED!!!!!!!!!!

  • @sweetlemon8821 Understandable, 'cause I am too. Just please read everything first.

  • @XxAmdisxX it call talkin with a accent

  • @XxAmdisxX im atheist

  • @lgeklsflz Well, dude that makes no since at all. If you are atheist, why say witches need to burn in hell? Atheist believe in nothing. No Heaven, no Hell, no God... Please?

  • The witch trials in Europe were far worse.

    Well over 100,000 people were hanged or burnt as 'witches' by witch-smellers, witch-finders and witch-hunters.

    One of these cruel, evil killers was a man called "Mathew Hopkins" who hanged well over 500 women.

    What gets me is how christianity continues to thrive after things like this? I mean, they accused cultures like paganism for sacrifices...yet they themselves do cruel things like hanging people after saying they're 'satans children'

  • Comment removed

  • @beautiflytragic nah read the bible god is way into torture, murder, and wrathful vengeance

  • portraying religion beeing used as a weapon of fear at its best......btw where did these guys learn noose knots?!?!? theyre really bad!

  • whats the name of the movie this is from?

  • @krystalandjennyshow Three Sovereigns for Sarah.

    However, you can only get in on VHS, sadly.

  • whats this from?

  • @DanielVanVuren The crucible

  • @DanielVanVuren It's from Three Sovereigns for Sarah.

  • @PrinceLordChris

    Yes, Christianity has it's dark filthy secrets, but nothing compared to what has been, what is, and what is to come, at the hands of the islams.

  • @Commentarian1 They could not flee to Virginia, because of their religious governmental theocracy. Also, James Town upon being settled was very, very, bad. People were starving, so they resorted to cannibalism. Also, disease was rampant in James Town. These reasons were enough to keep the accused from fleeing.

  • @fbplayer232 The cannibalism at James Town happened decades before the Salem Witch Trials. Same century, though.

  • What's funny is that the part "... and God will give you blood to drink!" actually happened to the person she said it to. He died of a disease that caused him to choke on his own blood. A miracle of God? No, don't think so I'm not Christian, that's why). Divine humor? Indeed.

  • @beautiflytragic Ah, but when it comes to "Thou shalt not let a witch live" and "Thou shalt no kill".....I believe they did it in "God's name" to tell the reason they are putting on a good show for the people and scaring innocent eyes.

    )0( Blessed be my sisters )0

  • this vidoe is cool exept whoever filmed it needs to go to a filming school!

  • @jiji10102 Ah, geez, thanks. That would be me.

    Because it's a VHS tape, this is the best I could do before I could get a converter machine.

  • things like this just show how screwed up some people were back then,

    if something occured, that they did not understand, they killed them out of fear,

  • those kids that accused them were so faking!

  • Yeah they sure did fake it, I mean witches and spirits? WTF! I guess the girls had a right old giggle, in knowing their lies cost peoples lives. Remember no TV, or nothing in those days. I bet it was a civil society, so no hanging to watch for fun, and when you put a group of horny girls into the mix, DEADLY!

  • sure enough the part where "God will give you blood to drink!" actually happened to the guy

  • @KDay5161 Please explain how so.

  • @amberdely They accused her of being a witch and she wasn't and she said that, and God punished him for killing her.

  • @KDay5161 Yes, it actually did.

  • so innaccurate they wer not hung from a tree and people would not have been shouting at rebecca they would have been crying

  • @hettee The court records from the trials seem to disagree.
