Description[]
New Salem is an isolated community located in the Colorado Rockies. It was founded by descendants of those who had been persecuted in the Salem witch trials of Salem, Massachusetts in the late 1700s. The members of this insular community considered themselves special, and regarded all others as outsiders. The leader of New Salem was a witch named Agatha Harkness. Harkness eventually left New Salem and left it to the care of her son, Nicholas Scratch. Scratch rebelled against his mother's actions and her associations with the outside world, so he formed a group of gifted New Salemites whom came to be known as the Salem's Seven.
