Best Answer

If this is in reference to the Crucible, then she had confessed to a witch after she saw Tituba coaxed into "conffesing" to seeing the devil. When Hale asked her if there were any others she saw with the devil, Abigail gained the idea of confessing, so that she could say that she saw Elizabeth Proctor with the devil. (Whom she wanted dead because of her love affair with John Proctor)
