"Abagail Williams and some of her friends were dancing in the woods one night when Reverend Parris saw them and suspected them of witchcraft. Word got around town about the "witchcraft" incident and people started blaming others so they wouldn't catch the blame themselves. Trials were held and many innocent people died because of other's false accusations."
