Ann Foster’s Jailhouse Confession and an Ipswich Militia Alarm | July 18, 1692We’re back in Salem Village on Monday, July 18, 1692, as magistrates press Ann Foster in jail and she delivers a chilling confession: the devil appeared to her as a man, Martha Carrier stood beside him, and a bargain for prosperity led to a terrifying flight to a witch meeting above the treetops—until their stick snapped and Foster crashed, injuring her leg. Our account traces what she claims she heard there, including talk of hundreds of witches and plans to destroy Salem Village, plus her allegation that Carrier foretold the death of James Hobbs’ child. Then the story pivots to Ipswich, where Major Samuel Appleton mobilizes about 60 men to relieve the Eastern Gloucester garrison house, only for gunfire and a tense swamp pursuit to erupt in the woods.00:00 Daily Introduction00:09 Ann Foster Questioned00:12 Devil’s Pact and Flight00:46 Salem Meeting Revelations01:04 Carrier’s Threat and Death01:26 Ipswich Militia Mobilizes01:43 Swamp Pursuit01:53 Closing Beat
