Novels, or any type of story about a true witch, or witches secretly at the Salem Trials? (lemmy.world)

I'm just curious. I've tried searching, and I'm really not finding anything. I had on a documentary, and just thought a book about a magic woman or women, secretly witnessing the hysteria woud be neat. Benevolently, or malevolenty. I'd accept short stories, film or comics, or whatever.

Only tangentially related, but i recently learnt that Salem never burnt witches at the stake. It's a myth. They were often hanged instead.

Cool, well thank you. Because when I couldn't find one single even remotely similar example, especially as I'm imagining, as a book, videogame, tv episode, poem, porno, or epic ballad, I decided to start writing it.
