9 Women Vanished From a Locked Salem Jail Cell – The Night Before Their Hanging (1692)

On the morning of June 29th, 1692, nine accused women scheduled to hang at dawn simply disappeared from a locked Salem jail cell. The door was bolted from the outside. The window was too narrow for anyone to pass through. The jailer swore he never slept. All that remained were nine wooden spoons, a small pile of warm, freshly cut hair, and no explanation that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has ever officially acknowledged.
