Summary

"Witchcraft of New England Explained by Modern Spiritualism" by Allen Putnam is a historical exploration from the 1800s that rethinks witchcraft in New England, especially notorious events like the Salem witch trials, by suggesting that spiritualism can help us understand what really happened. It begins by challenging older stories about witchcraft that call it lies or trickery, and promises to look at the records again, thinking spiritual experiences and psychological issues played a bigger part than people thought. The book introduces key people from the time, like Cotton Mather and Robert Calef, whose conflicting stories form the basis of the exploration of the past occurrences.
