The state of Massachusetts has officially pardoned the last Witch of Salem, Elizabeth Johnson, 329 years after she was sentenced to death. In the 17th century, it was never executed, but the American woman still remained the only unrehabilitated victim of the trial. Perhaps because she has no offspring. During the Salem witch hunt from February 1692 to May 1693, English Puritan settlers killed 20 people, about 200 were sent to prison, where some died. They fell victim to superstition, fear of disease, and settling scores. Elizabeth was 22 at the time of the trial.
