At the beginning of the fourth act, Pastor Paris lamented Mr. Dan Force's death to Abigail and Messi Luis. Pastor Parris explained to Danforth that Abigail stole 31 pounds from him and ran away from the Salem community. When Danforth suggested sending a search team to capture Abigail and compassion, Paris said he heard two girls talking about boarding. Paris then revealed that Abigail had "a deeper understanding" of the town, and received the news about the Andover revolt.
Essentially, Abigail Williams and Messi Lewis decided to escape from Salem as the community expected to overthrow the corrupt court and worry about their safety. Abigail and Messi Lewis are responsible for accusing innocent civilians arrested or hanged in front of the community making the magic hysterically permanent. Abigail and sympathy are concerned that Salem citizens overthrew the court, they are worried that they will be severely punished or executed, which is why they stepped in from Salem.
On 29th March Abigail Williams and Messi Lewis accused Elizabeth Proctor torture through his ghost and claimed that Abigail saw the ghost of John Proctor. Abigail testified that she saw about 40 witches drinking blood outside Paris' house. She named the ghost of Elizabeth Proctor, and appointed Salacud and Salacroise as deacons. The speculation about the motivation Abigail Williams testifies usually indicates that attention is needed. As a "poverty relationship" there is no prospect of a real marriage (because it does not have a dowry) she gained more influence and power than what she can do in other ways. Linda R. Caporael suggested that in 1976 fungal infections of rye may cause hallucinations with Abigail Williams and others' ergos.
On March 29, 1692, Abigail Williams and Messi Lewis said again that they were being tortured by the ghosts of Elizabeth. A few days later Abigail complained that Elizabeth pinched her and ripped her gut and said he saw the ghosts of Elizabeth and the ghosts of John. In April 1692, 31 men from Ipswich, Massachusetts submitted a petition to prove the integrity of John and Elizabeth and denied that they saw something indicating that the couple was a witch . In May 1692, representatives of John and Elizabeth submitted a similar petition including the signatures of 20 men and women, including Topsfield in Massachusetts State and some of the richest landowners in Salem. The petition raises questions about the validity of the spectral evidence and proves the lives of Christians led by John and Elizabeth.
