Here is a list of people murdered during the burning times.
      This is a short list. The estimates conflict as to how many were
tortured and put to death.
              Some say 500,00... Some say 9, 000,000. No one will ever
know for sure.
 What is known is that this was a reign of terror, inflicted by those
who thought they knew what was 
                                         "right and true."

Frank
            Donovan says: "Several modern writers claim that 9,000,000
people met their
                deaths during the witchcraft persecution but offer no
valid statistical
                records to support this estimate. On the other end of
the scale is the
              'educated guess' of R.H.Robbins and others that the total
may have been
           about 200,000. Contemporary records are spotty and
incomplete. Many deaths
            were probably never recorded and other archives have been
lost thru time."
                I feel we can reasonably estimate the lower end of the
scale at about
               250,000 persons killed, with a high end of perhaps as
many as one-half
              million thru into these "more enlightened" times, as
people are still being
              killed for witchcraft on the Navajo reservations and in
parts of Africa and
                                           S. America.
