 * This video shows the relationship between today's reseach of false memories and the possible false memories of the Salem witch trials in 1692. False memories are memories that people are thought to get due to suggestibility. Loftus did research on the topic of false memories and concluded that they are possible. The participant showed was told that he had beeen lost in the mall at a very young age. This memory was completely made up, but oddly, the participant started thinking he remembered this happening. Eventually, he was sure it happened, and he even began making up his own details about the event. Similary, in the witch craft trials, the girls were told that witch craft was a possible explanation for Betty's illness. Therefore, they made up a story that there were witches in the town working for the devil. Eventually, everyone started believing that witches were actually in Salem. This fact was so influential that some people of the town actually belived they were being attacked by witches, when in reality it was all in their imagination.**
