Good morning people of Salem, as most of you already know I am Reverend John Hale. Minister Paris ordered me to come hastefully to this town to investigate the cry of witchcraft in Salem.

You might be asking yourselves why he would leave his sons fatherless and motherless for the rest of their lives over a signature upon the church
