January 1692


Two girls named Abigail Williams and Elizabeth Parris began to act very strange. They were having odd fits and would scream nonstop. They would twitch as if someone was hurting them and stare into space, not moving. Their parents were getting worried. The girls were not eating. Samuel Parris called a doctor.

The doctor said that he had never seen anything like it. Therefore, he claimed that the evil powers of the devil were with the the girls. Now all of the townspeople were scared. The witch massacre was about to begin.
