11 Witchcraft Suspects: May 28, 1692

May 28, 1692: Eleven New Accusations and a Wave of Arrest WarrantsEleven new witchcraft accusations land at once, and with trials looming, the danger is immediate—three of today’s newly named suspects, Martha Carrier, Wilmot Redd, and Elizabeth How, will ultimately be hanged. We track the sweeping complaint filed by Jonathan Walcott and John Holten, aimed at a wide-ranging set of people from Andover to Boston, and tied to alleged attacks on Salem Village’s afflicted, while highlighting how even basic details like first names were missing in Judge John Hathorne’s record. Our deep dive connects families and rivalries—Carrier’s ties to the Toothakers, the Ingalls network, and minister Francis Dane’s far-reaching kin—alongside high-profile targets like Captain John Alden. Arrest warrants fly, constables move in across multiple towns, and the panic’s widening footprint reaches even Stamford, Connecticut.00:00 11 New Accusations00:39 Complaints Filed Today01:57 May 26 Spectral Attacks02:29 Martha Carrier Background04:17 Ingalls and Dane Connections05:09 Other Accused Profiles06:20 Warrants and Arrests07:31 More Warrants and Outcomes07:55 Connecticut Case and Records
