North America

"There was once a belief that if a woman was burned in flames and survived, then she was a witch. Well, this town has seen an unreasonable amount of bonfires - it still smells of the smoke - and yet it survives. The spirit of the witch has come to be celebrated here. 'Salem' has become permanently connotative with 'witch.' 

So you cannot help but wonder, with the humorous irony of this legacy, if perhaps some soul damned to the stake did not curse this town to forever be known as the city of witches. "
