John Procter's Specter Rides a Dog while Samuel Parris Writes a Log

Our day begins with Samuel Parris trying to write as Marshal George Herrick arrives to inquire about John Procter, only for the room to erupt in interruptions as John Indian, Abigail Williams, and Mary Walcott repeatedly cry out that Procter is present—seen in the marshal’s lap, on a dog’s back, and alongside Elizabeth Procter and Sarah Cloyce—while fits escalate so violently that several men struggle to restrain John Indian. Parris forces John Indian and Abigail out to keep working, but Mary’s calm knitting gives way to sudden claims of pinching and choking, and she names a widening circle of alleged tormentors, including Rebecca Nurse, Martha Cory, and Dorothy Good. As accusations flare, those named are transferred from Salem to the Boston jail, while Rowley’s Frances Wycomb points to Margaret Scott, setting a grim course toward September.00:00 Welcome and Date00:15 Parris Notes Procter01:15 Fits and Apparitions01:56 Walcott Accusations Escalate02:21 Prison Transfers to Boston02:38 Rowley Suspect Emerges02:52 Outcome and Execution
