Witchcraft tale of Anne Halliwell in Satem village
An account describes Anne Halliwell accused of witchcraft, Mark Spooner blamed, and a stranger in a purple doublet who rescues her. Joel Hallitt resists execution protests, prays for the townsfolk, and later confronts the danger in the woods. The narrator cites family memory of Spooner’s alleged pact with the devil.
