In the year of 1692, in a town called Salem in New England, United States, the horror arrived in each of its corners …
The beginning of this story is when two girls begin to suffer seizures without explanation, their personality became dark and unstable, they insulted God and barked like dogs.
The inhabitants of Salem determined that the girls suffered demonic possession, because they were victims of witches, that they were women and men who had obtained a supernatural power after having agreed with the devil.
