After shuving up her anusElizabeth "Betty" Parris (November 28, 1682 – March 21, 1760) was the nine-year-old daughter of the Salem villages' reverend Samuel Parris (1653–1720) and was the first to become ill after being "bewitched" as most people thought. Her contortions, convulsions and outbursts of gibberish at first baffled everyone, especially when other girls began to show similar symptoms.

Supposedly, she and her cousin, Abigail Williams, were taught some methods of fortune-telling by Tituba, an African, (or possibly native American Indian) servant from Barbados. Many recent historians have since dismissed this theory, perhaps most vehemently Mary Beth Norton, author of "In The Devil's Snare", since primary source documentation is slim to non-existent, and the tale largely stems from the extremely slanted and sometimes wholly inaccurate writings of 19th century historian Charles W.
