It's highly questionable how much the accusers' actions were intentional manipulations or mass hysteria.

Technically speaking, yes. The story revolves around Abigail (17 at the point in the movie) who had an affair with John who was probably well over 20. This was set during the Salem Witch Trials, however, so this was seen as “normal”

A needle is found in a poppet, and characters talk about Abigail having a needle in her stomach (implying the poppet was a voodoo doll, but she was faking that). The latter is not shown, only mentioned.

Some characters refuse to take actions even knowing it will lead to their deaths, but dying is not their goal.
