Speaker 1: You're listening to Unexplained, Season seven, episode twenty five, The
Speaker 1: City upon a Hill, Part two of three. On Saturday
Speaker 1: March first, sixteen ninety two, the congregation of Salem Village
Speaker 1: shuffled nervously into the meeting house, squeezing into whatever space
Speaker 1: they can find. At the front of the hawk, sat
Speaker 1: behind a desk on a raised platform, are the pale,
Speaker 1: hardened faces of Magistrates John Hawthorne and Jonathan Corwyn. The
Speaker 1: pair survey the scene before them with ominous stony authority.
Speaker 1: Minister Samuel Parris and his family watch on at the
Speaker 1: front of the crowd, alongside the Putner. Among them are
Speaker 1: the four young accusers, nine year old Betty Paris, her cousin,
Speaker 1: eleven year old Abigail Williams, twelve year old and Putnam Junior,
Speaker 1: and seventeen year old Elizabeth Hubbard, the great niece of
Speaker 1: doctor William Griggs. Pastor John Hale, minister of nearby Beverly,
Speaker 1: who Minister Paris had first consulted over the whole beguiling matter,
Speaker 1: stands watch alongside them. All are there to witness the
Speaker 1: examinations of Sarah good Sarah Osborne, and Titchuba. This is
Speaker 1: the first part of the legal process. If after examination,
Speaker 1: enough evidence is found to try the defendants, they will
Speaker 1: be reminded in custody to await trial. As stunned looking
Speaker 1: Sarah Good is led into the room by Constable Joseph Herrick,
Speaker 1: the principal law law enforcement officer in Salem, there are
Speaker 1: gasps and cries at the sight of her. Good desperately
Speaker 1: searches the crowd for any sign of a friendly face,
Speaker 1: imploring begging anyone to believe she is innocent, but all
Speaker 1: turn away or avert their gaze. Just as her eyes
Speaker 1: threaten to meet theirs, the magistrates call for order. Sarah Good,
Speaker 1: what evil spirit have you familiarity with? Asks Hawthorne. None,
Speaker 1: she replies, have you made a contract with the devil? No,
Speaker 1: says Sarah again. Then Sarah is ordered to look upon
Speaker 1: the four young girls her accuses. As she turns to
Speaker 1: face them, Abigail lets out a cry, and soon all
Speaker 1: four of them are writhing about in apparent agony. There,
Speaker 1: hands and arms twisting into strange configurations. They scream out
Speaker 1: for Sarah to stop attacking them. There are numerous shouts,
Speaker 1: of which from the crowd. Why do you torment them?
Speaker 1: Yells Magistrate Corwyn over the din I torment. Nobody replies Sarah,
Speaker 1: growing increasingly angry. So who is it? Then? It must
Speaker 1: be Sarah Osborne. She is doing this, shouts Good in reply.
Speaker 1: More gasps ring out as the magistrates call for order again.
Speaker 1: Sarah Good is returned to Salem jail to await trial.
Speaker 1: Then Sarah Osborne is led into the meeting house. The
Speaker 1: children writhe and twist again in apparent pain at the
Speaker 1: first sight of her. Though only ten years older than
Speaker 1: thirty nine year old Sarah Good, Osborne is a much
Speaker 1: meeker figure and far less combative. In front of the
Speaker 1: feverish crowd, The children accuse her again of tormenting them.
Speaker 1: They tell the congregation that Osborne takes a spectral form
Speaker 1: with her witchy powers to poke and pinch them from
Speaker 1: a distance. Osborne softly denies the accusation. The magistrates want
Speaker 1: to know about something peculiar Osborne said to one of
Speaker 1: the jailers. Earlier in the day. Osborne had told them
Speaker 1: that she was more likely to be a victim of
Speaker 1: witchcraft than be a witch herself. And why did you
Speaker 1: say that, asks Magistrate Hawthorne. Osborne explained it was because
Speaker 1: of a nightmare she'd had in which she was attacked
Speaker 1: by what she described as a dark skinned Indian. Then
Speaker 1: a voice had told her never to go to a
Speaker 1: church service again. She insisted that she'd not obeyed it
Speaker 1: only as someone shouts from the crowd, Osborne hasn't been
Speaker 1: to church for over a year. Proof, surely, they say
Speaker 1: that she is in league with the strange figure from
Speaker 1: her dream, who is clearly the devil. The crowd roars
Speaker 1: in agreement. Osborne tries to plead her innocence. She's been sick,
Speaker 1: she says, that's why she hasn't attended church, but her
Speaker 1: voice is barely audible over the din. She too, is
Speaker 1: sent back to jail to await trial, and then it's
Speaker 1: Titchiba's turn. When she enters the room, a hush falls
Speaker 1: over the crowd. Some visibly draw back as this woman,
Speaker 1: more strange and unknown to them than any other they knew,
Speaker 1: is pushed to the front. Constable Herrick, even the young
Speaker 1: accusers are stilled as she takes the stand. And what
Speaker 1: evil spirit are you familiar with? Asks Magistrate Hawthorne. None,
Speaker 1: says Titchubah, Why do you hurt these children? But I
Speaker 1: do not hurt them, she replies, tell the truth. Who
Speaker 1: is it that hurts them? Tituba looks round at the
Speaker 1: assembled crowd hanging on her every word. Among them the tall,
Speaker 1: imposing frame of Minister Samuel Parris, dressed all in black,
Speaker 1: his eyes bore into her. Titchuba shifts uneasily on her feet,
Speaker 1: her body still tender from the beating he gave her
Speaker 1: only a few days before. The truth, Titchuba, who hurts
Speaker 1: these girls? Repeats Hawthorne. Tichiba pauses for a moment, collecting
Speaker 1: her thoughts. Then, to the horror of all present, she says,
Speaker 1: I do I am the one who hurts them. I
Speaker 1: do it for the devil. The meeting house erupts. After
Speaker 1: the initial shock of Titchiba's confession, a strange calm descends
Speaker 1: over the congregation. It's almost cathartic to hear her admit it.
Speaker 1: Not only is there an explanation for the strange and
Speaker 1: terrifying harm being seemingly inflicted on the young girls, but
Speaker 1: here was physical proof too, of everything The congregation stood for,
Speaker 1: proof of the very evil it was their divine mission
Speaker 1: to expunge. But few could have anticipated the story that followed.
Speaker 1: It all began late one frigid January night, while Titchuba
Speaker 1: was settling down to sleep. The parsonage was silent, her
Speaker 1: cramped room lit only by the soft light of a
Speaker 1: quarter moon. It was then she said that something resembling
Speaker 1: a man suddenly appeared before her. The figure said he
Speaker 1: was God and that she had to serve him for
Speaker 1: six years. In return, she'd receive many fine things. Titchuba
Speaker 1: said she refused at first, but the figure told her
Speaker 1: that if she didn't do as he asked, he would
Speaker 1: kill Betty and Abigail, and he would kill her too.
Speaker 1: The next time he appeared, he brought a small green
Speaker 1: and white bird for her to stroke. She thought then
Speaker 1: that perhaps he was God after all. A few days later,
Speaker 1: while tit was sweeping the kitchen, four women appeared to her.
Speaker 1: Two of them, she says to more startled cries from
Speaker 1: the congregation, were Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne. The other
Speaker 1: two she didn't recognize. The strange man was there too.
Speaker 1: Standing behind her. He grabbed her arms and told her
Speaker 1: to go into the children's bedroom and pinch them. The
Speaker 1: coven of five watched, she said, as she reluctantly did
Speaker 1: what she was told, and so it began. Over the
Speaker 1: following weeks and months, she tells the congregation the devil,
Speaker 1: who she now believed the strange man to be, made
Speaker 1: cats appear to her and told her to pinch them
Speaker 1: in terror. She obeyed, and each time she pinched them,
Speaker 1: she heard the girls cry out in pain, as if
Speaker 1: they were somehow linked to the animals. Whenever she refused
Speaker 1: to continue, other cats appeared to her. They scratched and
Speaker 1: threatened her if she didn't continue to obey. One day,
Speaker 1: the devil came again and presented Titchuba with a book
Speaker 1: and a stick with a pin tied to the end
Speaker 1: of it. He instructed her to prick her finger and
Speaker 1: write her name in blood in the book. When she
Speaker 1: did just that, she said she observed other names in
Speaker 1: the book written in blood just like hers. Unable to read,
Speaker 1: she asked the devil whose names they were. He revealed
Speaker 1: only that two of them belonged to Sarah Good and
Speaker 1: Sarah Osborne. More cries went up from the crowd, and
Speaker 1: the young accusers writhed again, in apparent agony, how many
Speaker 1: names were in the book? Shouts Magistrate Hawthorne over the
Speaker 1: din nine replies Titchuba nine witches to that gasps from
Speaker 1: the crowd. For two days, Titchubur relays her bizarre story
Speaker 1: to the congregation. One night, she says, Osborne and Good
Speaker 1: came to her at the Paris home while the family
Speaker 1: were at prayer. Good was accompanied by a cat and
Speaker 1: a yellow bird, familiars of the devil. This same yellow bird,
Speaker 1: she said, had apparently been seen numerous times by the
Speaker 1: children in and around the parsonage. Osborne, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: was accompanied by things altogether more strange. One had the
Speaker 1: head of a woman, two legs, and wings that seemed
Speaker 1: to shapeshift in and out of a likeness of Osborne,
Speaker 1: as though it were mimicking her. The other was covered
Speaker 1: all over in dark hair and had an eerily long nose.
Speaker 1: Good had stood silently feeding her yellow bird with pieces
Speaker 1: of meat as Osborne ordered Titchuba to travel with them
Speaker 1: to Boston. Or three of them then flew off into
Speaker 1: the night on a stick. Titchiba didn't quite recall how
Speaker 1: they got there, only that one moment they were in
Speaker 1: Salem Village, the next they were in Boston. There they
Speaker 1: met with two other women and a man whom Titchuber
Speaker 1: didn't recognize what were these devilish creatures wearing? Asks Hawthorne.
Speaker 1: Titchiburh looks out at the throng of Puritans or crowding
Speaker 1: around her. They wore black, she says, and the man
Speaker 1: the enslaved. Titchiba turns to her master, Samuelaris, then back
Speaker 1: to the magistrates. He wore black too, she says. And
Speaker 1: what exactly did they ask you to do there in Boston?
Speaker 1: They said that I should go to Thomas Putnam's house
Speaker 1: and cut off his daughter's head. Another scream rings out
Speaker 1: as all four children shake and hurl themselves to the ground,
Speaker 1: their eyes rolling back into their heads. In the seventeenth century,
Speaker 1: science blended inextricably with witchcraft and religion. Through the genius
Speaker 1: of Galileo in sixteen oh four to Isaac Newton in
Speaker 1: sixteen eighty six, it had been proved beyond doubt that
Speaker 1: invisible forces existed in the world. If gravity and magnetism existed,
Speaker 1: it stood reason thought many that so too could satanic possession,
Speaker 1: divine intervention, and witchcraft. And in the Bible, the existence
Speaker 1: of witches is made explicitly clear Exodus twenty two eighteen.
Speaker 1: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Deuteronomy eighteen
Speaker 1: ten to eleven there shall not be found among you
Speaker 1: any that useth divination, or an enchanter, or a witch,
Speaker 1: and Leviticus twenty twenty seven makes it very clear how
Speaker 1: any upstanding Christian should respond to the discovery of a
Speaker 1: witch or wizard. A man or woman that hath a
Speaker 1: familiar spirit, or that is a witch shall be put
Speaker 1: to death. They shall be stoned, their blood shall be
Speaker 1: upon them. If Salem Village had been a fractured place before,
Speaker 1: now there was finally something to rally around, something they
Speaker 1: could all come together and agree on that the three
Speaker 1: women in custody had to be punished for their despicable crimes.
Speaker 1: For Samuel Parris, though deeply troubled by the events for
Speaker 1: so long a pariah to many in the congregation, it
Speaker 1: seemed he'd finally achieved the impossible of bringing them all
Speaker 1: closer together. But all that was about to change. On
Speaker 1: the eleventh of March, just over a week since the examinations,
Speaker 1: and Putnam Junior collapses before her parents. Swiping at something
Speaker 1: in the air, she cries out that she's being attacked
Speaker 1: by a spectral form of Martha Cory that pinches and
Speaker 1: bites her with gnashing teeth. Unlike the three previously accused women,
Speaker 1: Martha Corey is largely popular in Salem Village. Both her
Speaker 1: and her husband Giles are considered respectable and pious, But
Speaker 1: Martha has also spent the last few days telling anyone
Speaker 1: and everyone that she thinks the children are making it
Speaker 1: all up. On March twelfth, a group of men, including
Speaker 1: Thomas Putnam, visit Corey at her home and accuse her
Speaker 1: of attacking Anne. But Martha doesn't have any of it.
Speaker 1: If it's really true that Anne saw her in spirit form,
Speaker 1: she says, then ask her what I was wearing last night.
Speaker 1: But Thomas Putnam is one step ahead. He'd already asked
Speaker 1: her that, he says. However, Anne had told him that
Speaker 1: she'd been struck blind at the time and so couldn't see.
Speaker 1: Of course, said Martha with a wry smile. Later that day,
Speaker 1: there is a new rumor in town that when Martha
Speaker 1: Corey was told about Anne's accusation, she had smiled in scorn,
Speaker 1: as though she was pleased to hear that Anne had
Speaker 1: been violently attacked. The day after being informed of the accusation,
Speaker 1: Martha Corey pays a visit to the Putnam's home, demanding
Speaker 1: to speak with Anne Junior. No sooner has she stepped
Speaker 1: inside the house, Anne slips into a violent seizure than
Speaker 1: the Putnam's servant Mercy Lewis, who was beside her at
Speaker 1: the time, also collapses to the ground. Lewis had borne
Speaker 1: many scars in her short sixteen years of life. Only
Speaker 1: a few years before, she was orphaned when a series
Speaker 1: of Native American attacks on the village where she used
Speaker 1: to live resulted in the death of most of her family. Together,
Speaker 1: her and Anne writhe chaotically on the floor, their eyes
Speaker 1: rolling as they shriek in apparent torment. Then Anne points
Speaker 1: suddenly at the fire in the hearth and screams, see
Speaker 1: there a man in chains, stabbed through on a spit.
Speaker 1: Good wife Cory is roasting him, turning him on the spit.
Speaker 1: See him burn. Mercy staggers to her feet and grabs
Speaker 1: the poker from the fire. She swipes at the supposed apparition,
Speaker 1: yelling for Martha to stop hurting them and to stop
Speaker 1: roasting the man on the spit. Martha is seen fleeing
Speaker 1: from the house soon after three days later, she is
Speaker 1: arrested and accused of witchcraft. At first it seems that
Speaker 1: this will be the last of the accusations. Then Mary Wallen,
Speaker 1: servant to John and Elizabeth Proctor, begins fitting too. As
Speaker 1: owners of a local tavern and a number of farm
Speaker 1: properties in Salem and nearby Ipswich, the Proctors are one
Speaker 1: of the more prosperous families in the community. Elizabeth, who
Speaker 1: runs the tavern, was John's third wife. The first two
Speaker 1: had died in childbirth, having bared eleven children between them.
Speaker 1: Inside the Proctor's home, Mary Wollen wails in apparent pain
Speaker 1: on the floor, claiming that she is being attacked by
Speaker 1: the specter of Giles Corey, Martha Corey's husband of amused
Speaker 1: John Proctor tells her to get up immediately and to
Speaker 1: stop playing games. It is only his shadow she is seeing,
Speaker 1: he says, when he threatens to beat Mary if she
Speaker 1: doesn't stop it. The apparent fit abates, and she dutifully
Speaker 1: returns to work. A few days later, on March nineteenth,
Speaker 1: former Minister of Salem Deo Dat Lawson travels to Salem village,
Speaker 1: where he's met by Mary Walcott. The sixteen year old
Speaker 1: cousin of Anne Putnam Junior and niece of Mary Sibley,
Speaker 1: who'd instructed Tituba to make a witch's cake all those
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Mary is at Lawson's lodgings to pass on
Speaker 1: her parents' well wishes, when suddenly she cries out, my wrist,
Speaker 1: my wrist. Lawson grabs a nearby candle and holds it
Speaker 1: over the inflicted area to reveal what appears to be
Speaker 1: teeth marks from a small human mouth. It's Dorothy Good,
Speaker 1: said Mary, she has done this. Dorothy Good is Sarah
Speaker 1: Good's four year old daughter. Deeply disturbed by what he'd
Speaker 1: seen on Mary Walcott's wrist. Minister Lawson travels to the
Speaker 1: parsonage to see Minister Samuel Parris. While there, Paris and
Speaker 1: Lawson are deep in conversation when an almighty wail is heard.
Speaker 1: The two men rush into an adjoining room to find
Speaker 1: eleven year old Abigail Williams being seemingly hurled about by
Speaker 1: an invisible force. Do you not see her? She screams, there, Look,
Speaker 1: it's Rebecca Nurse tormenting me. Seventy two year old Rebecca
Speaker 1: Nurse is another prominent figure in the community, regarded by
Speaker 1: many as a deeply devout Christian. Abigail accuses her of
Speaker 1: trying to make her sign her name in the Devil's Book.
Speaker 1: As a shocked Paris and Lawson continue to look on, Abigail,
Speaker 1: seemingly in the grip of some kind of spell, begins
Speaker 1: pulling pieces of burning wood out at the fire and
Speaker 1: throwing them about the room, whom at one point she
Speaker 1: appears to be flung straight toward the fire, only to
Speaker 1: stop at the last moment, having been seemingly released suddenly
Speaker 1: from the spell. On March twenty first, Martha Corey is
Speaker 1: brought before magistrates Hawthorne and Corwyn, this time at the
Speaker 1: Ingersol's tavern. Once again, all the afflicted girls are present
Speaker 1: as the defendant desperately pleads her innocence. Look says one,
Speaker 1: I see that little yellow bird again, dancing between her fingers. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I see it too, say the others. Martha turns to
Speaker 1: her husband George and begs him to back her up,
Speaker 1: but instead he also testifies against her. He says that
Speaker 1: she refuses to follow his leadership as all wives ought
Speaker 1: to do. He says she reads dangerous literature and that
Speaker 1: whenever she claims to be praying. He never actually hears
Speaker 1: the words coming from her lips. Maybe she isn't praying
Speaker 1: at all, he says, but casting spells. The crowd shout
Speaker 1: and jeer in response. Then from somewhere out of the
Speaker 1: back of the room, a heavy black shoe hurtles through
Speaker 1: the air and smacks Martha square on the head, And
Speaker 1: with that she is formally charged and taken to jail
Speaker 1: to await trial. A few days later, its Nurse Rebecca's
Speaker 1: turn to be hauled in front of the congregation. Despite
Speaker 1: thirty nine prominent villages signing a petition defending her, including
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Hawthorne, the wife of Magistrate John Hawthorne, it's not
Speaker 1: enough to save her now. Among the girls accusing her
Speaker 1: is Mary Warren. Despite her boss, John Proctor's threats, she
Speaker 1: continued to claim she was being psychically attacked by witchcraft.
Speaker 1: She and the others cry out in such apparent anguish
Speaker 1: at the site of Nurse Rebeccah, the magistrates are forced
Speaker 1: to pause proceedings on a number of occasions. Like all
Speaker 1: the others save for Tituba, Nurse Rebeccah too protests her innocence,
Speaker 1: and despite having nothing but kind words and prayers for
Speaker 1: the girls who accuse her. She too is remanded in
Speaker 1: custody to await her trial. The same day as Nurse
Speaker 1: Rebecca's examination, a group of men are despatched to the
Speaker 1: home of Sarah Good, who continues to languish in jail
Speaker 1: with the other accused. It's not her husband William they
Speaker 1: have come for, however, but rather her four year old
Speaker 1: daughter Dorothy. In the previous few days, and Putnam Junior
Speaker 1: had added to her cousin Mary Walcott's accusation, claiming that
Speaker 1: she too had been bitten by the child. It was
Speaker 1: clear she said that little Dorothy had been enticed by
Speaker 1: her mother to consort with the devil, and so the
Speaker 1: following day, the tiny, helpless Dorothy is led into the
Speaker 1: meeting hall to face the magistrates. Without much comprehension of
Speaker 1: what she is being accused of, the terrified young girl
Speaker 1: admits to owning a pet snake that had been given
Speaker 1: to her by her mother. She describes how it recently
Speaker 1: bitter on the finger and sucked at her blood. Then
Speaker 1: she holds up her forefinger, where at the lower joint
Speaker 1: a dark red spot is found. It is all the
Speaker 1: evidence the magistrate's need Dorothee is immediately thrown in jail
Speaker 1: along with the others. So small her wrists that the
Speaker 1: jailers are forced to have a smaller set of manacles
Speaker 1: forged especially for her. Most jails in the seventeenth century
Speaker 1: were grim, and Salem jail is no different. The smell
Speaker 1: of vomit and feces of unwashed bodies and stale food
Speaker 1: hangs thick and heavy in the air. Rats scurry about
Speaker 1: endlessly while inside, the accused are routinely starved and kept
Speaker 1: sleep deprived in the hope that they might crack and
Speaker 1: finally confess, but all save for Tituba, refuse to do so.
Speaker 1: At the end of March, they are joined by Rebecca
Speaker 1: Nurse's sister, Sarah Klois. Kloys had spent the days since
Speaker 1: Rebecca's arrest loudly protesting her innocence and, like Martha Corey,
Speaker 1: accusing the apparent victims of making it all up. Then
Speaker 1: Abigail and Mary Walcott accused her of being a witch too,
Speaker 1: and she was promptly thrown in jail. By now, fear
Speaker 1: in the village is at a fever pitch. Not only
Speaker 1: does the devil seem to be running a Mark among them,
Speaker 1: but there is no telling who the next victim might be,
Speaker 1: and everybody is under suspicion. On March twenty sixth, Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Proctor becomes the seventh supposed witch to be accused by
Speaker 1: not only Mercy Lewis and Abigail Williams, but also her
Speaker 1: own servant, Mary Warren. A furious John Proctor orders Mary
Speaker 1: to publicly retract her accusation, and so in early April,
Speaker 1: Mary does exactly that in front of the whole congregation
Speaker 1: during a Sunday service, but it's too late for Elizabeth,
Speaker 1: who is arrested a few days later to Unlike all
Speaker 1: the others accused to date, Elizabeth and Sarah Cloyse are
Speaker 1: examined by Deputy Governor of Massachusetts Thomas Danforth. After being
Speaker 1: informed at the beguiling events threatening to get out of
Speaker 1: hand in Salem, Danforth is determined to get a handle
Speaker 1: on it, but even he is left bewildered by the
Speaker 1: sheer chaos of it all. Throughout Elizabeth and Sarah's examination,
Speaker 1: the accusers, Abigail Williams, Mercy Lewis, Mary Walcott, and Anne
Speaker 1: Putnam Junior, scream and wail whenever the defendants try to speak,
Speaker 1: they hurl themselves to the floor, tremble and shake, seemingly
Speaker 1: uncontrollably as they cry out for Elizabeth and Sarah to
Speaker 1: stop tormenting them. Other times, when asked how the women
Speaker 1: are hurting them exactly, they seem struck, dumb, or stick
Speaker 1: their hands in their mouths instead of talking. Joining them
Speaker 1: as an accuser is also the enslaved John Indian Titchiba's husband.
Speaker 1: John testifies that the specters of both Elizabeth and Sarah
Speaker 1: had choked him and tried to force him to write
Speaker 1: his name in the Devil's book. At one point, Abigail
Speaker 1: rushes out to strike Elizabeth. When she pulls away instinctively,
Speaker 1: Abigail's fingers lightly brushed the hood covering her head, a
Speaker 1: customary uniform for Puritan women. At the slightest contact with
Speaker 1: the material, Abigail staggers back, crying out that her fingers
Speaker 1: are burning, and Putnam Junior falls to the floor, clutching
Speaker 1: her head. Elizabeth and Sarah are immediately despatched to Salem jail.
Speaker 1: In the following days, a number of the accusers turned
Speaker 1: their ire on Mary Warren, maybe scornful of her decision
Speaker 1: to retract her accusation, they begin to accuse her of
Speaker 1: being a witch too, perhaps seeing a way out of
Speaker 1: her predicament. Warren then accuses John Proctor of being a witch,
Speaker 1: telling magistrates that late one night, he and his wife
Speaker 1: had tried to make her touch the Devil's Book. Around
Speaker 1: the same time, Anne Putnam Junior and Mercy Lewis accused
Speaker 1: Giles Corey of attacking them. Lewis claims she was beaten
Speaker 1: so hard by Giles's spectral form he almost broke her back.
Speaker 1: And so it is that John Proctor and Cory become
Speaker 1: the eighth and ninth after titchuba accused of witchcraft, to
Speaker 1: be arrested. Nine Witches of Salem, just as Titchubah had
Speaker 1: foretold Sarah Osborne, Sarah and Dorothy Good, Martha and Giles Corey,
Speaker 1: Rebecca Nurse and her sister, Sarah Cloyse, and Elizabeth and
Speaker 1: John Proctor. But things were far far from over. You've
