Salem After Dark

About this episode

HOOK: Ghosts testify, and the court believes them. Salem Village, early 1692. Two girls in the minister’s house fall into fits. Magistrates John Hathorne and Jonathan Corwin summon the accused—Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba Indian—into the crowded meetinghouse. The afflicted claim the specters of these women attack them. Tituba describes a tall man in black, a red cat, a black dog, a yellow bird, and marks in the Devil’s book. The magistrates accept these invisible assaults and strange visions as proof. Cost: The court rewrites the rules—now, nightmares have legal standing.
