  Who was the first Salem Witch? Was it Tituba? Or was it one of the nineteen men and women, all having been convicted of witchcraft, that were carted to Gallows Hill, a barren slope near Salem Village, for hanging.   They where believed to have sold themselves to the Evil One, and that he gave them power to harm other people. And what made them more dangerous was the fact that they did not need to go near people to harm them, but could do evil at a distance by thinking wicked thoughts, or saying wicked words.
