Witch Pins
From Salem Links and Lore
Several artifacts relevant to the witch hunt can be found in a small case in the office of the Clerk of Court. (In the Essex County Courthouse) These include the 1692 seal of Essex County, used to legalize documents pertaining to witchcraft, and several straight pins, admitted as evidence in the trials and said to have been used by the accused to prick their victims.
