The correct answer to this open question is the following.
It was in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony, where the Salem Witch Trails happened in colonial America from 1692 to 1693. In January 1962, some girls accused Tituba and two other women of having bewitched them. The Puritans were the main group involved in witch-hunting after Tituba confessed to being a witch. People such as Bridget Bishop, Martha Carrier, Giles Corey, and many more were sentenced during the witch-hunt. Historians consider that almost 200 people were accused, some 150 were arrested and 20 people were hanged at Proctor's ledge.
