Witchcraft Suspects Questioned in Jail

Jailhouse Confessions and Two Georges in the DarkWe take you straight into Salem jail on April 20, 1692, where Abigail Hobbs doubles down after her confession and names apparitions, a “witches’ sabbath,” and the Devil’s image-magic used to afflict the girls. Then the pressure shifts to Mary Warren as she describes signing the book, explosive claims about the Proctors, and the tense, live-wire moment when Giles Cory is brought in and her fits erupt as he turns to face her. The night turns even darker as two new specters surface: former minister George Burroughs in Ann Putnam Jr.’s terrifying encounter, and elderly farmer George Jacobs Sr. in Mercy Lewis’s midnight testimony. Our best hook: the claustrophobic, fast-moving jailhouse intrigue where accusations multiply and the next wave of suspects is already closing in.00:00 Confessions Continue00:20 Abigail Hobbs Details01:21 Devil’s Images and Sabbath01:57 Mary Warren Questioned03:08 Giles Corey Jailhouse Drama04:31 Specter of George Burroughs06:14 George Jacobs Appears06:58 Tomorrow’s New Suspects
