## Caption

Not only is the Old Burying Point the second-oldest cemetery in the United States, it's located in Salem, Massachusetts - site of the infamous witch trials of the 1690s. 🧙‍♀️

During this dark period, more than 200 people were accused of witchcraft, and 19 were executed - 14 women, five men, and even two dogs! A park and multiple memorials in Salem are now dedicated to the victims.
