Answer: As 1692 passed into 1693, the hysteria began to lose steam. The governor of the colony, upon hearing that his own wife was accused of witchcraft ordered an end to the trials.

Explanation:

The witch hunts were resolved when the Governor of Massachusetts, Sir William Phips, ordered the trials to stop and for amends to be made.

The witch hunts in Salem from 1692 to 1693 was a deadly period where:

  • more than 60 people were accused of witchcraft
  • around 20 people were executed

The governor of the state, Sir William Phips, had not been present for long in the period and came back in time to learn that his wife had been accused of witchcraft.

The governor then realized that the trials had been a mistake and after ordering that they were stopped, tried to give compensation to those families that had been affected negatively by the trials.

In conclusion, the witch hunts ended when the government realized it was getting out of hand and so wanted to make restitution.
