I think this should be entered into the Guiness World Records!
I have just finished an essay about the play 'The Crucible' by Artur Miller: It's a story of the Salem Witchhunts. I'm not sure if the names in it are the real people and there was no documented evidence of their personality. Tituba and Hawthorne are in it but it's centered around a farmer John Proctor. (He got hung to save his name in the end. 
)
There's a film with the screenplay by the same guy.

I was thinking it wasn't *that* many footnotes...!
I'm currently reading 'Witchcraft in Europe, 1100-1700: A Documentary History' by Alan C. Kors, Edward Peters, which has lots more footnotes, but is also fascinating. Loved Robin Griggs's 'Witches and Neighbours: The Social and Cultural Context of European Witchcraft' despite the dissing of Wiccans in the preface.
