The record
After Rebecca Cornell’s death in 1673, her brother John Briggs reported seeing her apparition and hearing a statement about her burning. New England Legends examines how this claimed encounter helped trigger an investigation that ended with her son Thomas’s execution. The episode stresses that the death’s circumstances remain uncertain and that spectral testimony was not reliable proof of guilt.
