The Salem witch trials of 1692, in claymation: a documentary told from inside one
accusation in Andover, Massachusetts — and the way out of it.
A girl you have never met falls to the floor of a meeting house and says your name.
There are no defense lawyers. There is no way to prove you were asleep.
But there is a way out, and about fifty people take it this year.
0:00 Andover, 1692
0:36 The village
2:53 The touch
5:44 The book
8:58 The ledge
11:38 Ten witches
13:44 The last name
Spectral evidence, the witch’s mark, the touch test, Bridget Bishop, Giles Corey,
the jailer’s itemized bill — and one name the colony kept missing.
I’m Twisty. Trust nothing, question everything.
