How many people were accused of witchcraft in the Salem witch trials?

Answer:
142 people were legally accused of witchcraft during the Salem Hysteria.

This count does not include people who were rumored by neighbors or relatives of being involved with witchcraft. Only a handful of these people were executed, 16 I think, a few with the money or influence to do so escaped town, charges were dropped against some and the remainder served time in prison but were released.
