That was really freaky! I was hanged and didn't confess. It was really horrible how the girls said that they were being tormented by witches, even though most of the people accused were innocent.

I didn't get hung. If you remember, at one point during the video in class or Mr. Markwald said, that the people who confessed got out more often tan those who don't. All I can think of is the cruelty of the girls to acuse people and send them to their deaths. Could it be an unrecorded insanity, or just cruelty? I think the girls were insane.

I was hanged...oh well

Unknown said...

I got out of jail :) I was only lucky though... In the video we saw today the guy said that the people who confessed got out more often. Those girls were maniacs. And the pictures were freaky.

I admitted to being a which. I had to witness many trials. The situation was very weird and I couldn't imagine actually being in the courtroom while it's going on.

I would not confess. At first my son came forward with a petition and I was not guilty but then the girls start screaming and I was charged with witchcraft. Many people were hung with me. It was really scary!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine being there!!!!

I confessed to being a witch and was put into jail for about a year! Then I was let out but my character kept emphazing that I had to live with my sins and lies about the other person. It was really creepy though!!!!!

I didn't confess to being a witch, and my friends signed a petition for me, but then the girls started screaming so i was hung. And..they had to describe in detail how i died a long painful death..im really freaked out right now!!!

Jerry H said...

In the simulation I confessed to being a witch, and ended up living, because im so amazing. However, getting thrown into jail was certainly not pleasant.

molly said...

it was scary and with all the darkness and how you thought you would not make it. i did it twice both times were the same level of scary

Dominique said...

I was hanged and didn't confess, because I was NOT a witch. Those girls were crazy, and so were the town people for believing in specters that attacked people. If I were the judge, I would just put a stop to this killing by punishing the girls so they would stop accusing people.
-Dominique

Isaac Siegel said...

I was hung after pleading not guilty to the charges of witchcraft.


Stay Classy San Diego

Griffin said...

That was cool, very interesting. I hit the wrong button on accedent when it asked me if I wanted to confess or notl, i hit no. I wounder what would have happened if I had hit yes, oops.

-Griffin

Olivia W said...

OMG! That scared me so much. It was so descriptive. I got hanged, and it was so scary to read "You try to catch your breath" and stuff like that. I could almost feel my throat close up!
-Olivia W

Amber said...

i was hanged!! i wasnt a witch, that was uncool!!!

tony said...

YAY!!!!!

I got away, but i spent time in jail and got my best freind killed... :(

Unknown said...

We think the girls were just trying to get attention and the reason they were spazzing out was because of guilt. They were guilty because of being friends with the slave and the story she was telling.
We survived:-)
-Sara and Brooke:p

I know this wont count because it is late but just wanted to give my opinion, i thought it was really scary but cool, it seemed that you would probably loose either way.
