Best Answer

Ann Putnam Sr. accused Rebecca Nurse because she CLAIMS that she saw the specter of Rebecca Nurse haunting her and telling her to join Satan, but it is thought that she accused Rebecca Nurse because she was the wife of Francis Nurse, an influential man of the anti-Parris faction of the village, while the Putnams were pro-Parris.
