<p>Follow the events of April 4, 1692, as new testimony and complaints target recent suspects. We cover a reported spectral attack involving the shape of John Proctor afflicting Abigail Williams, then dig into multiple depositions against Rachel Clinton, including claims of meetinghouse disturbances, strange animal apparitions, a mysterious loss of beer, and a tense late-night confrontation followed by an apparent affliction and near-death of Betty Fuller. We also examine Mercy Lewis’s statements about being bitten, pinched, choked, and urged to “write in a book,” attributed to the shape of four-year-old Dorothy Good and to Sarah Osburn. Finally, we follow new complaints filed against Sarah Cloyce and Elizabeth Proctor, including an early mention of John Indian among the afflicted.</p><p>00:00 April 4 Overview</p><p>00:23 Proctor Spectral Attack</p><p>00:38 Boarman vs Clinton</p><p>01:49 Beer Barrel Curse</p><p>02:56 Edwards Livestock Losses</p><p>04:38 Fuller Night Visit</p><p>06:10 Dorothy Good Accusation</p><p>06:34 Osburn Book Pressure</p><p>06:54 New Complaint Filed</p><p>07:19 Afflicted List Update</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A49794.0001.001/1:3?rgn=div1;view=fulltext"><em>A Brief and True Narrative</em><u> by Deodat Lawson</u></a></p><p><a href="https://change.org/witchtrials"><u>Sign the petition to exonerate Massachusetts witch trial victims</u></a></p><p><a href="https://malegislature.gov/Search/FindMyLegislator"><u>Find My Massachusetts Legislators</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCliis4vjMIUgg3wcA0pXeYQ/"><em>The Thing About Witch Hunts / About Salem</em><u> YouTube channel</u></a></p><p><a href="https://aboutsalem.com/salem-witch-trials-daily/"><u>⁠Salem Witch Trials Daily Hub</u></a></p><p><a href="https://aboutsalem.com/salem-witch-trials-daily-course-week-2-salem-village-divided/"><u>⁠</u></a><a href="https://aboutsalem.com"><em>The Thing About Salem</em></a><a href="about:blank"><u>⁠</u></a></p><p><a href="https://aboutwitchhunts.com"><em>⁠The Thing About Witch Hunts</em></a></p><p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/90227/9781107689619"><u>⁠</u></a><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/90227/9780375706905"><u>Mary Beth Norton, </u><em>In the Devil’s Snare: The Salem Witchcraft Crisis of 1692</em></a></p><p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/90227/9781107689619"><u>Bernard Rosenthal, ed., </u><em>Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt</em></a></p><p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/90227/9780190627805"><u>⁠Emerson W.
