Sarah Cloyce and Elizabeth Procter Face the Governor’s Council

We follow the Salem crisis as it surges from village drama into colony-level spectacle: John Indian reports being bitten and pinched by Sarah Good’s specter, Mercy Lewis wavers after naming Sarah Cloyce, and then the focus snaps to April 11 when the Governor’s Council packs the Salem Town meetinghouse for the examinations of Sarah Cloyce and Elizabeth Procter. With Danforth and leading assistants present and Samuel Parris recording, accusations escalate fast—devil’s books, choking, a “white man,” and a reported witches’ sacrament with roughly 40 participants. Fits erupt on cue as the afflicted clash with the accused, and the spotlight widens to John Procter as a “wizard,” setting a deadly chain in motion. The day ends with arrests and removal to Salem Town jail—just part of what’s still to come.00:00 Daily Intro and Date00:13 April 10 Incidents01:08 April 11 Hearing Begins02:08 John Indian Accusations03:07 Afflicted Girls Testify03:38 Witches Sabbath Revealed04:48 Cloyce Faints and Chaos05:10 Elizabeth Procter Examined06:59 John Procter Implicated07:28 Spectral Tactics Explained08:32 Testimony and Prayer Test09:16 Arrests and Wrap Up
