Freethought Day is October 12th, the annual observance by Freethought freethinkers and Secularism secularists of the anniversary of the effective end of the Salem Witch Trials . The seminal event connected to Freethought Day is a letter written by then Massachusetts Governor William Phips in which he wrote to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom Privy Council of the British monarchs, William and Mary, on this day in 1692. In this correspondence he outlined the quagmire that the trials had degenerated into, in part by a reliance on evidence of a non objective nature and especially spectral evidence in which the accusers claimed to see devils and other phantasms consorting with the accused. Note that, contrary to what has been claimed by some, there was no specific order or edict by Phips to ban spectral evidence from all legal proceedings. Rather, this was one concern that brought about Phips stopping the proceedings. When the trials ultimately resumed, spectral evidence was allowed but was largely discounted and those convicted were swiftly pardoned by Phips.
