I will convince some girls in this town to come to the forest. They will dance and drink blood in the middle of night.
This is so much fun!
DRINK BLOOD AND DANCE!!
What is that noise? It sounds like witchcraft.
"ABRACDABRA"
Tituba the Slave, comes up with a plan to perform voodoo with the girls in the forest. She wanted the girls to participate with her in the ritual.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
NOTHING! We are just simply dancing that is all, Reverend please believe me.
Betty Parris and her friends went into the woods with her fathers slave, Tituba. All the girls went to the forest for different reasons, no one knew that they would be participating in.
I cannot talk or move, but please do not cry father.
He decides to go for a walk in the forest to clear his head. As he is walking he hears sounds coming from within the forest. He goes to check it out.
How could you perform such a demonic ritual on my daughter and her friends? They are children!
I would never do such thing!
To his surprise, his daughter and her friends were dancing around the fire in the dark of night with his slave. Reverend Parris was astounded to see this. He sent everyone back to their homes.
Betty had become ill shortly after the night in the woods. Reverend Parris was convinced that something evil has occurred. He even spoke to all the girls and everyone had the same story. He had a feeling that Tituba was behind everything. He decided to talk to her personally.
Please protect my daughter from the devil!!
The Reverend had a talk with Tituba about what he saw and he needs to know if it was witchcraft. Tituba denies everything that happened in the woods. Tituba insists that someone else must be bewitching the children, she said this to save herself from being beaten to death. Reverend Parris was confused on how to take action regarding this matter.
