About this episode

The episode explores the historical case of a possessed servant girl in Groton, Massachusetts in 1671.

Before Salem there was Groton. In 1671 a sixteen year old servant girl in a small Massachusetts frontier town was possessed by the devil and the minister who witnessed it wrote down everything. Every word the voice said. Every fit. Every terrible confession. That document still exists. This week we're in Groton Massachusetts, a town the devil visited over three hundred years ago.
