key = "In 17th century colonial North America, the supernatural was part of everyday life, for there was a " \
"strong belief that Satan was present and active on Earth. This concept emerged in Europe around the " \
"fifteenth century and spread to North America when it was colonized. Witchcraft was then used by " \
"peasants, who invoked particular charms for farming and agriculture. Over time, the idea of white " \
"magic transformed into dark magic and became associated with demons and evil spirits. From 1560 to " \
"1670, witchcraft persecutions became common as superstitions became associated with the devil. In " \
"“Against Modern Sadducism” (1668), Joseph Glanvill claimed that he could prove the existence of " \
"witches and ghosts of the supernatural realm. Glanvill wrote about the “denial of the bodily " \
"resurrection, and the [supernatural] spirits”. In his treatise, he claimed that ingenious men should " \
"believe in witches and apparitions; if they doubted the reality of spirits, they not only denied " \
"demons, but also the almighty God. Glanvill wanted to prove that the supernatural could not be " \
"denied; those who did deny apparitions were considered heretics for it also disproved their beliefs " \
"in angels. Works by men such as Glanvill and Cotton Mather tried to prove to humanity that “demons " \
"were alive”, which played on the fears of individuals who believed that demons were active among " \
"them on Earth.\n" \
"\n" \
"Men and women in Salem believed that all the misfortunes were attributed to the work of the devil; " \
"when things like infant death, crop failures or friction among the congregation occurred, the " \
"supernatural was blamed. Because of the unusual size of the outbreak of witchcraft accusations, " \
"various aspects of the historical context of this episode have been considered as specific " \
"contributing factors."
