May 6, 1692: A Mysterious Illness, a Spectral Sighting, and a Warrant for Philip EnglishWe follow May 6, 1692, as Daniel Wilkins—nephew of John Willard—begins a serious and mysterious illness that will shape what follows. Days later, during Alice Parker’s May 12 examination, Margaret Jacobs claims she saw Parker’s apparition that very night in Salem’s Northfields. Meanwhile in Boston, with the General Court in session, magistrates John Hathorne and Jonathan Corwin issue a second arrest warrant for the fugitive Philip English, still concealed in a friend’s house, tightening the pressure as events accelerate.00:00 Welcome to the Show00:07 Hosts Introduction00:10 Daniel Wilkins Falls Ill00:26 Margaret Jacobs Testifies00:42 Warrant for Philip English00:56 Thanks and TomorrowLinks:Warrant no. 2 for the apprehension of Philip English, and officer's return: https://pem.quartexcollections.com/Documents/Detail/warrant-no.-2-for-the-apprehension-of-philip-english-and-officers-return/4744Examination of Alice Parker: https://salem.lib.virginia.edu/n97.html#n97.1Salem Witch Trials History YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCliis4vjMIUgg3wcA0pXeYQ/⁠Salem Witch Trials Daily Hub: https://aboutsalem.com/salem-witch-trials-daily/⁠⁠The Thing About the Salem Witch Trials: https://aboutsalem.com⁠⁠The Thing About Witch Hunts: https://aboutwitchhunts.com⁠⁠Mary Beth Norton, In the Devil’s Snare: The Salem Witchcraft Crisis of 1692: https://bookshop.org/a/90227/9780375706905⁠Bernard Rosenthal, ed., Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt: https://bookshop.org/a/90227/9781107689619⁠⁠Emerson W.
