From the events I've read about in The Crucible, I've seen that a lot of the people were freaking out about nothing. I know it must have been a very weird experience for their children to be lying motionless on a bed. But, from what it looks like, they made too much of a big deal directed towards witchcraft and the devil. It caused a lot of people to make false accusations when they didn't even have all the information. So far this is a very interesting play.
I agree completely. Kids get sick and throw fits. It happens all the time! I think that people just took the opportunity to get anger out on people they hated. And that happened to be through the Devil and witchcraft.
