Disclaimer: THIS IS WHAT I THINK AND IS BY NO MEANS CANNON.

I think Salem was once a 'friend' of Ozpin and one of those who practipated in the great war. Salem's aura and semblance allowed her to control minds of those who were primal, animals and creatures of grim. Salem was probably betrayed by Ozpin and other warriors ,something Ozpin considers one of his mistakes, and was affected mentally. Because her soul got corrupted her semblance, by extention , was affected and altered her appearance into something simlar to a grim/human hybrid.
