That would be Bridget Bishop. She was the first brought to trial because they couldn't use spectral evidence in court yet, which was the evidence on which most, if not nearly all, the accused were convicted and they only had normal "evidence" for Bishop. However, like all the victims, she cannot be connected by a series of traits of a single trait to the of accused. Accusations were sporadic.
