How does Mather both defend and question the events of Salem witch trials including the use of spectral evidence?
Cotton Mather was a socially and politically influential New England Puritan minister, prolific author and pamphleteer; he is often remembered for his role in the Salem witch trials. He was the son of Increase Mather, and grandson of both John Cotton and Richard Mather, all also prominent Puritan ministers. The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts, between February 1692 and May 1693. Despite being generally known as the Salem witch trials, the preliminary hearings in 1692 were conducted in a variety of towns across the province: Salem Village (now Danvers), Ipswich, Andover and Salem Town. Spectral evidence is a form of evidence based upon dreams and visions. It was admitted in court during the Salem witch trials by the appointed chief justice, William Stoughton. The booklet A Trial of Witches taken from a contemporary report of the proceedings of the Bury St. Edmunds witch trial of 1662 became a model for, and was referenced in the Trials when the magistrates were looking for proof that such evidence could be used in a court of law. Early in 1692, a circle of young girls began to meet in the home of Samuel Parris, the Puritan pastor of Salem Village. The minister's nine-year-old daughter, Betty, and Betty's eleven-year-old cousin, Abigail Williams, were fascinated by the voodoo-like tales and tricks of the family's Barbados slave, Tituba, and soon they began to invite their friends to share in the entertainment. Before long, some of the girls in the circle began to behave strangely, complaining of physical maladies, reporting visions, lapsing into trances, and trembling and babbling without restraint.

Burroughs had been a minster in Salem, but had left and gone to Wells, Maine. He was brought back by authorities and imprisoned. He was found guilty. At his execution on August 19th, 1692, he recited the Lord's Prayer perfectly, something a witch supposedly couldn't do. The crowd wanted to release him but Cotton Mather talked them out of it. He died along with John Proctor, George Jacobs, John Willard and Martha Carrier.
