  8. What lead to the Witch Hysteria As a way to entertain the Parris’ daughter Betty and her cousin Abigail, Tituba told them stories of the spirits in the Caribbean. Such stories were forbidden by the Puritan religion. However the children started to have strange fits and symptoms like twitching, babbling which led to Tituba being accused of using Witch craft It is said Tituba and John made them a “Witch Cake” with rye and Betty’s urine and feed it to the dog to become their Witch helper

  9. Witch Trails Parris beat Tituba and promised her freedom if she confessed, her confession made her the first confess of practicing witch craft With her confession she named other active witches like Sarah Good, Sarah Osporne

  10. Benefits of Confessing Tituba lessened her further punishment by pleading guilty early on She also didn’t have to go through a trail

  11. Results of Confession After her confession Tituba said that the devil made her do those things Soon after her confession and blaming other people Tituba and her husband became afflicted and started to have fits as well to clear their names However they were still kept in jail, and Rev. Samuel Parris didn’t keep his promise to release Tituba from jail
