Yep, the Putnam family had 3 ”afflicted girls" (one was adult), and made over 200 accusations. Almost all of which were against political or business rivals, or connected in some manner. It very well may have began a political/business conspiracy between Thomas Putnam and Reverend Parris, playing on very real Puritan and settler fears.
