An eyewitness and critical compilation of accounts surrounding the witchcraft panic in colonial New England, assembling depositions, examinations, and commentary that trace how local disputes and religious tensions intensified episodes of alleged demonic affliction. It details the onset of strange fits among household members, communal responses of fasting and prayer, investigations producing confessions and accusations against marginalized individuals, and courtroom examinations by magistrates where afflicted witnesses identified supposed tormentors. The work critiques investigative methods, records procedural irregularities, and highlights how fear, suggestion, and authority combined to produce prosecutions, imprisonments, and social ruptures.
