00:03:30No!
00:03:33Put it on him.
00:03:38Help the holy clouds. Help him.
00:03:41Elizabeth Selwyn.
00:03:44On this third day of March,
00:03:46in the year of Our Lord, 1692,
00:03:50we, the people of Whitewood, Massachusetts,
00:03:54condemn thee as a witch.
00:04:00May the flames cleanse my soul of its evil,
00:04:04of its lust for blood that made me bring about the death of Abigail Adams.
00:04:11Help!
00:04:26Help her, Lucifer! Help her!
00:04:41I have made my pact with thee, O Lucifer. Hear me!
00:04:45Burn, witch! Burn, witch! Burn, witch!
00:04:56Burn, witch! Burn, witch! Burn! Burn! Burn!
00:05:02So shouted the people of Whitewood when they burned Elizabeth Selwyn in 1692.
00:05:07Though, as I have said, little is known today of the actual practice of witchcraft in 17th century New England,
00:05:13superstition, fear, and jealousy drove the Puritans to accuse their friends and relatives of consorting with the devil.
00:05:20Raiding around huge bonfires, repeating vindictive chants, they consigned the poor creatures to the flames.
00:05:27The tortured souls cried out in agony as the flames mounted higher and higher.
00:05:31Burn, witch! Burn, witch! Burn! Burn! Burn!
00:05:35Dig that crazy beat.
00:05:41That will be all for today.
00:05:44Tomorrow will be my concluding lecture on the history of witchcraft in 17th century New England.
00:05:48I shall bring along some illustrations which I'm sure will interest you all.
00:05:51I'll bring the matches.
00:05:55Maitland!
00:05:57Since you chose to attend these lectures, I had hoped that it was in a spirit of scientific curiosity about the subject.
00:06:06That'll be all.
00:06:10Bill, how could you?
00:06:12He takes it all so darn seriously. He's got you all hypnotized.
00:06:16Miss Barlow.
00:06:17Yes, Professor.
00:06:18Can I see you for a moment, please?
00:06:20What about our date?
00:06:22I mean...
00:06:23Look, I'll wait for you outside.
00:06:27Yes, Professor.
00:06:30A rather difficult young man, that.
00:06:33I fear that you are more of an attraction to him than my poor efforts.
00:06:36However, I've been reading through your papers, Miss Barlow.
00:06:39They show a very sound appreciation of the subject.
00:06:41I want to go to New England to do my senior paper.
00:06:44They're really quite good, you know.
00:06:51Some first-hand research. I want to get the atmosphere.
00:06:54Find out how widespread witchcraft really was.
00:06:56What the witches were really like.
00:06:58That might take a little time, you know.
00:07:00Well, I have the time.
00:07:01My brother and I were going to spend our vacation with our cousins.
00:07:04What I'd really like to do...
00:07:06is to get a room in the smallest, oldest town in New England I can find.
00:07:11Check through all the town hall records.
00:07:13Recheck the libraries.
00:07:15Talk to the Puritan descendants.
00:07:17Make a really thorough investigation.
00:07:20Your brother is a good man.
00:07:23Your brother is a professor of science, Miss Barlow.
00:07:25I hardly think he'd be very interested in the history of witchcraft.
00:07:28Then I'd go alone.
00:07:30You don't think he'd object to that?
00:07:32You leave Richard to me.
00:07:34He's picking me up here for lunch.
00:07:37Hello, Bill.
00:07:39Professor Barlow. Nan here?
00:07:42Yeah, she's in there with him.
00:07:45Well, I don't like you getting mixed up in this witchcraft business.
00:07:48Why not? It's only part of her history course.
00:07:51Professor Barlow.
00:07:53Before you go in there, could I have a word with you?
00:07:56Sure.
00:07:57Well, it's about Nan and me.
00:07:59Oh.
00:08:00If you're really serious about this, I happen to know of a town in New England.
00:08:04As a matter of fact, it's the identical place where the events occurred that I mentioned in today's lecture.
00:08:07Wakewood.
00:08:09It's quite a small place. It's a little bit off the beaten track.
00:08:12So maybe these directions will help you.
00:08:17I think you might very well find what you're looking for there.
00:08:20I happen to know the woman who owns the inn in Whitewood.
00:08:22Her name is Neulless. Mrs. Neulless.
00:08:24So you just tell her I sent you.
00:08:27Raven's Inn, Whitewood.
00:08:29What's Whitewood?
00:08:32Now, Dick, don't be too upset, but...
00:08:36I'm going to change my plans for the vacation.
00:08:38Change your plans?
00:08:40Yes.
00:08:41I'm going to a place called Whitewood for a week or so to do some research.
00:08:44Oh, are you?
00:08:46What about Cousin Sue?
00:08:47She's expecting you for her birthday party on the 17th.
00:08:50She'll have a footbath.
00:08:51I can still easily make it by then.
00:08:52This is important.
00:08:54My term paper's got to be good.
00:08:56It could mean a scholarship.
00:08:58Come on, Dick.
00:08:59You'll have a good time without me.
00:09:02My mind's made up.
00:09:03I'm going to Whitewood.
00:09:04Surely any good encyclopedia will give you all the nonsense you want to know about witchcraft.
00:09:08Witchcraft is not nonsense, Barlow.
00:09:13I'm sorry, Driscoll.
00:09:14Witchcraft?
00:09:15Witchcraft?
00:09:16Like magic sorcery?
00:09:17To me, it's nothing but fairy tale mumbo jumbo.
00:09:20I'm a scientist, Driscoll.
00:09:22I believe what I can see, what I can feel and touch.
00:09:25The basis of fairy tales is reality.
00:09:27The basis of reality is fairy tales.
00:09:29Did you ever meet a witch, Driscoll?
00:09:34Perhaps.
00:09:35Oh, come on.
00:09:36You're an historian.
00:09:38No witch ever survived the burning at the stake for all that pact with the devil.
00:09:43In 1692, Elizabeth Selwyn went to the stake.
00:09:47She was buried in a churchyard in New England.
00:09:51And yet, three years later...
00:09:52Yeah?
00:09:53Three years later, a new wave of blood sacrifices broke out in the village that had condemned her.
00:09:59The daughters of the elders who had condemned her were themselves found murdered,
00:10:02with every last drop of blood drained from their bodies.
00:10:04And afterwards, people came forward to testify that they had actually seen Elizabeth Selwyn.
00:10:09Oh, stop.
00:10:10This would be more effective at midnight, with howling winds and crashing thunder,
00:10:13and even then it wouldn't frighten anyone.
00:10:16Dick, I'm sorry, Professor Driscoll.
00:10:20That's all right, Miss Barlow.
00:10:23You won't be the first person to have scoffed at the subject.
00:10:27Honey, when you get to, um...
00:10:29Where is it?
00:10:30Whitewood.
00:10:31Ah, yes, Whitewood.
00:10:32Well, send me a picture postcard of a witch.
00:10:34If possible, autographed.
00:10:36Now, uh, let's have some lunch, eh?
00:10:38I'm sorry, I have a date.
00:10:54Nan, darling, I still don't see why you have to go after this Whitewood place.
00:10:58Now, I thought we were going to have some time together during this vacation.
00:11:03You know I want to be with you, it's just that this is important.
00:11:06Look, what the heck can you find that hasn't been found before?
00:11:11I don't know.
00:11:12It's just that maybe, hidden in some attic or buried in some old antique shop,
00:11:17there's something that might give a whole new outlook to the subject.
00:11:20Oh, what new outlook can there be?
00:11:22You're a science student, honey, you know how important research is.
00:11:25But this isn't about anything real.
00:11:27This is just superstitious people burning silly old women.
00:11:31But suppose the women weren't silly.
00:11:33Suppose they really had a pact with the devil.
00:11:36A pact that could have supernatural power.
00:11:39Oh, come on, what kind of power?
00:11:41I don't know.
00:11:49Oh, look, it's no use, Bill.
00:11:51We've both tried our hardest to talk her out of going.
00:11:56Do you really think she will find anything worthwhile?
00:11:58Well, I think we have to respect her desire to find something new,
00:12:01even if we don't agree with the subject.
00:12:03Agree with it?
00:12:05I've never heard so much nonsense as that guy Driscoll talks in all my life.
00:12:09Well, here I am, all packed.
00:12:11Oh, I suppose there's nothing I can say will stop you from going, huh?
00:12:15Yeah, well, I'll put this in the car.
00:12:23I still hoped you'd change your mind, Nan.
00:12:25Don't worry, darling.
00:12:27I'll be back as quick as I can, and I'll write.
00:12:29I'll be back as quick as I can, and I'll write.
00:12:33Well, don't forget me altogether, huh?
00:12:37I won't.
00:12:38Give Sue my love, and don't forget we have a date at her party.
00:12:42Goodbye, darling.
00:13:00Excuse me, can you help me? I seem to be lost.
00:13:02Sure, if I can.
00:13:04I'm looking for the Wamport Road.
00:13:06Wamport Road? Hardly anyone uses that anymore.
00:13:09Well, my friend gave me the directions.
00:13:11Take Road 28A, turn onto the Wamport Road,
00:13:15fair left at the fork through to Whitewood.
00:13:17Whitewood?
00:13:18Am I that far away?
00:13:19No, ma'am, not far.
00:13:21Well, I'm afraid I'm going to miss you.
00:13:23I'm afraid I'm going to miss you.
00:13:25I'm afraid I'm going to miss you.
00:13:27No, ma'am, not far.
00:13:29Not many God-fearing folks visit Whitewood nowadays.
00:13:32If I were you, I'd...
00:13:33If you'll excuse me, I'm in a hurry.
00:13:35Which way is it?
00:13:36Well, follow this road about two miles, you'll come to a fork.
00:13:39There'll be a sign, Wamport Road.
00:13:41Turn left, keep straight, there'll be Whitewood.
00:13:43Thank you very much.
00:14:20Does that sign say Wamport Road?
00:14:23Wamport Road, yes.
00:14:25Oh, good, I was afraid I missed it.
00:14:27Is it Whitewood you seek?
00:14:29Yes.
00:14:30I, too.
00:14:31Would I be imposing if...
00:14:33No, of course not, get in.
00:14:44I think the Highway Commission would do something about these roads.
00:14:48Watch out, here comes another bump.
00:14:52What is your mission in Whitewood?
00:14:55Mission?
00:14:57Well, I'm going there to do some research on witchcraft.
00:15:01Professor Driscoll gave us some very interesting lectures on the subject.
00:15:04I'm going there to get some original source material.
00:15:08Do you know Whitewood?
00:15:10I haven't known it for many years.
00:15:12Do you go there often?
00:15:13Fairly often.
00:15:14Oh, then you must know the Raven's Inn.
00:15:16I shall be resting there.
00:15:18Oh, so shall I.
00:15:20Oh, my name's Nan Barlow.
00:15:22My name's Jethro Keen.
00:15:24Pleased to meet you.
00:15:26Pleased to meet you.
00:15:40Just like a picture out of a history book.
00:15:44I feel as though I were in the 17th century.
00:15:48Why hasn't Whitewood been written about?
00:15:50It's off the beaten path.
00:15:52Few tourists come here.
00:15:54To Whitewood, time stands still.
00:15:58Look at that church.
00:16:00Must have been beautiful.
00:16:02What a shame they let it get so run down.
00:16:06Straight on?
00:16:08Yes, follow the road around.
00:16:19Ah, there it is.
00:16:21What a lovely old building.
00:16:2317th century, at least.
00:16:26How picturesque can you get?
00:16:28Right by the graveyard.
00:16:30Yes, it has not been used for more than 200 years.
00:16:34Any witches buried there?
00:16:36There are indeed.
00:16:38All in a section of unconsecrated ground.
00:16:41Spooky, isn't it?
00:16:44Well, keep your fingers crossed for me, Mr. Keen.
00:16:47I hope Mrs. Newell's has that run.
00:17:44Oh, I didn't hear you come in.
00:18:07Are you Mrs. Newell's?
00:18:10Oh, I'm Nan Barlow.
00:18:12I was told I might find a room here.
00:18:16I was recommended by a friend of mine, Professor Driscoll.
00:18:19Perhaps you know him.
00:18:20That will be all, Lottie.
00:18:27I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
00:18:29Unfortunately, Lottie cannot talk.
00:18:32I've often told her not to answer the bell.
00:18:34Oh, poor thing.
00:18:35Then you're Mrs. Newell's?
00:18:36I am.
00:18:37May I help you?
00:18:38Yes, I'd like to have a room here for two weeks.
00:18:41The hotel is quite full.
00:18:44Oh, the guests are never about at this time of the day.
00:18:48Well, I'm a student of Professor Driscoll's.
00:18:50He told me if I mentioned his name, I'd have no trouble.
00:18:55Well, there is a room I could let you have.
00:18:58It's just off the lobby.
00:19:00Oh, thank you.
00:19:02Oh, Mrs. Newell's, that plaque.
00:19:05Is it true that Elizabeth Selwyn was really burnt here for being a witch?
00:19:10She was.
00:19:12And do you believe she was a witch?
00:19:16Come along.
00:19:17I'll show you to your room.
00:19:23I hope you will be comfortable.
00:19:33Yes, it is a nice room.
00:19:35The previous occupants have always found it most agreeable.
00:19:38Well, if there's anything you should need, just ring the bell for me at the desk.
00:20:05Oh!
00:20:27It's been so many months.
00:20:29I've counted the days to this holiday.
00:20:32So have the others.
00:20:34It wasn't easy for some of my guests to get here.
00:20:37Many had to travel vast distances.
00:20:39I was lucky.
00:20:40The last few miles were enchanting.
00:20:43Miss Barlow is very good company.
00:20:46You must be tired, Jethro.
00:20:48Your room is ready.
00:20:49And the festivities.
00:20:54I am prepared.
00:21:02Oh, Mrs. Newells.
00:21:04I thought I'd have a short look around town.
00:21:06I won't be gone long.
00:21:08I think you'll find the church interesting.
00:21:10Unfortunately, it no longer has a congregation.
00:21:20He will be pleased.
00:22:16I'm told this was once a house of worship.
00:22:19It is still a house of worship.
00:22:22I am the reverend of this church.
00:22:24As long as the breath of life is within me, this house shall remain God's house.
00:22:31Must have been a beautiful building.
00:22:33To me, it is still beautiful.
00:22:37I'm sorry.
00:22:39What a shame the people have let it fall into such a state.
00:22:42Strangers rarely come to Whitewood.
00:22:45Who are you?
00:22:47I'm Nan Barlow.
00:22:48I'm staying at the Raven's Inn.
00:22:50Why have you come to Whitewood?
00:22:53Well, because I'm interested in witchcraft.
00:22:56Young woman, leave Whitewood.
00:22:59Leave Whitewood tonight.
00:23:01For 300 years, the devil has been haunting this place.
00:23:07For 300 years, the devil has hovered over this city, made it his own.
00:23:13The people in it are his.
00:23:16Evil has triumphed over good here.
00:23:20Look at my church.
00:23:22I have no parish.
00:23:24No one worships here.
00:23:26His is the power.
00:23:29What power?
00:23:30Leave Whitewood.
00:23:32Leave Whitewood tonight.
00:23:34I beg of you.
00:23:36What power?
00:23:37Leave before it is too late.
00:24:04Good evening.
00:24:33Good evening.
00:24:34Please excuse the mess.
00:24:35We haven't been open long.
00:24:36You have some very interesting things here.
00:24:38Yes, they belong to my grandmother.
00:24:40When she died, I came back to sort things out.
00:24:43Oh, I'm sorry.
00:24:44Then you don't live here?
00:24:45No, my family lived here for generations,
00:24:47but I've just been back a few weeks.
00:24:49Would you like to have a look around?
00:24:52Oh, I didn't mean to frighten you when I came in.
00:24:55It's just that all the people I've met here
00:24:58acted like I'm a person from another world.
00:25:01They don't seem any strangers here.
00:25:03And I had the most, well, unusual experience
00:25:06with the reverend.
00:25:07He barred my way from the church.
00:25:10And he talked to me about a curse.
00:25:12And he warned me to leave Whitewood.
00:25:15Can you explain that?
00:25:17No, I can't.
00:25:18Does he often act that way?
00:25:21He's my grandfather.
00:25:23Oh, I'm sorry.
00:25:24Oh, it's all right.
00:25:25It's happened before with strangers.
00:25:26The lack of parishioners and loss of his sight
00:25:29has made him bitter and suspicious.
00:25:32I'm afraid, what with him and the town, I was very scared.
00:25:35When I saw your lights, I made a dash for them.
00:25:37I'm glad you did.
00:25:40Do you have any books or pamphlets on witchcraft?
00:25:44You do, don't you?
00:25:45A friend of mine.
00:25:46Well, we have a collection gathering dust.
00:25:48But why on earth would you be interested in?
00:25:50Oh, I'm sorry.
00:25:51It's really none of my business.
00:25:52No, that's all right.
00:25:53I'm studying it in college.
00:25:54And I've come here to write my term paper.
00:25:56Well, just wait.
00:25:57I'll see what I can find.
00:26:07That's Elizabeth Selwyn, burned as a witch, March 3, 1692.
00:26:11Yes, I know.
00:26:12I saw the plaque in the lobby of the hotel.
00:26:15You were staying at the Raven's Inn?
00:26:16Yes.
00:26:18It was recommended to me by a friend of mine,
00:26:19Professor Driscoll.
00:26:20Alan Driscoll?
00:26:21Yes, do you know him?
00:26:22No, but my grandfather speaks of him.
00:26:24His family come from here.
00:26:25Oh, I didn't know that.
00:26:27Here, I think this will do for a start.
00:26:32The lovely locket, may I see it?
00:26:35I believe it's quite old.
00:26:37It is.
00:26:37You're very lucky.
00:26:39I'm even more lucky to have found this.
00:26:42The Treaties on Devil Worship in New England.
00:26:45This must be a very rare book.
00:26:47I'm afraid I couldn't afford to buy it.
00:26:50You can borrow it, if you like.
00:26:52Oh, could I?
00:26:52That would be wonderful.
00:26:54I promise I'll bring it back in a few days.
00:26:56You're very welcome, Miss, uh...
00:26:57Barlow.
00:26:58Nan Barlow.
00:26:58Nan Barlow.
00:27:00Thank you very much.
00:27:01Good night.
00:27:01Good night.
00:27:24Mrs. Newlis?
00:27:51Mrs. Newlis?
00:27:52Yes, Miss Barlow?
00:27:55I've heard some strange noises in my room.
00:27:57Oh, possibly the water in the pipes.
00:27:59This is a very old inn.
00:28:00No, it seemed to be coming from the cellar underneath.
00:28:03I hardly think so, Miss Barlow.
00:28:04The cellars do not extend beneath your room.
00:28:07Then why is there a trapdoor in the floor?
00:28:09The ground was filled in many years ago
00:28:11to strengthen the foundations of the building.
00:28:13But I'm sure I...
00:28:14If you insist, I will come and see you.
00:28:23I don't hear anything.
00:28:26But just a few minutes ago...
00:28:30Never mind, I'm sorry.
00:28:31You're welcome.
00:28:32But you can see for yourself,
00:28:33there is no ring in the trapdoor
00:28:35because there is no reason to lift it.
00:28:37There is nothing underneath but earth.
00:28:52Come in.
00:29:20Oh, hello, Lottie. Come in.
00:29:24I don't need any more towels.
00:29:26I haven't used mine and they're quite clean.
00:29:36Lottie, I've told you before not to bother the guests.
00:29:44Miss Barlow, I thought you might care to join us.
00:29:48I thought you might care to join the others.
00:29:50I will as soon as I finish my notes.
00:29:52I'll put some clothes on and join them.
00:29:55A treatise on devil worship in New England.
00:29:58Well, do you find this interesting?
00:30:01Why, it's fascinating.
00:30:02The things I've learned.
00:30:04I bet you don't know the half of it.
00:30:06And you live right here on a spot
00:30:07where the witches were actually burnt.
00:30:09Listen to this.
00:30:11On Candlemas Eve, February 1st,
00:30:14in the year 1692,
00:30:16a coven of witches, a coven, that's 13,
00:30:19some men, some women,
00:30:21whose power came from the devil,
00:30:23gathered beneath the Raven's Inn
00:30:25to perform a black mass in the honor of Lucifer.
00:30:28The witch Elizabeth Selwyn,
00:30:30later to be burnt at the stake,
00:30:32marked a young girl for sacrifice
00:30:35by obtaining an object of value belonging to her,
00:30:38with which to call her,
00:30:39and leaving in its place a dead bird
00:30:42and a sprig of woodbine.
00:30:45The witches sacrificed her on the altar
00:30:47and drank her blood at the hour of 13.
00:30:51What's the hour of 13?
00:30:53Well, personally, I have never heard a clock strike more than 12.
00:30:57Now, how about joining the dancing?
00:30:59In a little while, I promise.
00:31:01Oh, by the way,
00:31:03I seem to have misplaced my locket.
00:31:05I remember having it in my room,
00:31:07and now it's disappeared.
00:31:08Oh, I'm sorry. I'll ask Lottie.
00:31:10Well, I'm not saying it was stolen.
00:31:12It's just, I remember having it on the dresser,
00:31:14and now it's gone.
00:31:16I would appreciate it.
00:31:17Of course. I'll look into it immediately.
00:31:28Lottie,
00:31:29I have warned you too often about annoying our guests.
00:31:33If you disobey me again, I shall turn you out.
00:31:36And if I turn you out,
00:31:38there will be no place for you anywhere.
00:31:40You do understand, Lottie, don't you?
00:31:43Yes.
00:33:14Ah, Miss Barlow.
00:33:16I'm afraid Lottie is nowhere to be found,
00:33:18but I will inquire about your locket first thing in the morning.
00:33:21Oh, thank you.
00:33:22Where is everybody?
00:33:23Most of the other guests have gone to services.
00:33:26Services on the first of February?
00:33:30Candle Mass Eve.
00:33:33The night when the witches mock the rituals of the church.
00:33:37Are you all right, Miss Barlow?
00:33:40Yes, quite.
00:33:42Quite, thank you.
00:33:44Good night.
00:33:45Good night, Miss Barlow.

00:40:08She left in such a hurry she must have forgotten to return it to you, Miss Russell.
00:40:14She seems such a nice girl too.
00:40:15Wouldn't have thought she was the sort who'd forget to return a book.
00:40:19We cannot always judge by our first impressions, can we?
00:40:23I'm not usually wrong about the people I lend my books to.
00:40:26Perhaps you'll be more careful in the future.
00:40:28Thank you for letting me have it.
00:40:30Remember me to your grandfather.
00:40:34Lottie, get out of the way, you clumsy creature.
00:40:50Can I help you?
00:40:51Yes, we're from the sheriff's office.
00:40:52We had a call this evening.
00:40:53A missing person's report on some college kid named Nan Barlow.
00:40:57The party calling said that her last known whereabouts was the Raven's Inn.
00:41:01Nan Barlow, that's strange. Yes, I met her.
00:41:04When did you last see her?
00:41:06About two weeks ago.
00:41:07She came to my shop and borrowed this book.
00:41:09It's quite valuable, and so not hearing from her, I decided to come and get it.
00:41:13Mrs. Newless had it.
00:41:15May I?
00:41:16Yes.
00:41:18A treatise on devil worship.
00:41:21I must put this in the report.
00:41:23The peculiar things some of these college kids do nowadays.
00:41:26Well, thanks for your help.
00:41:29Come on, Charlie.
00:41:59Hello?
00:42:14Yeah.
00:42:18It's police.
00:42:21Yeah.
00:42:24Okay, thanks.
00:42:26I thank you.
00:42:28Well?
00:42:30Police sent a car out to the Raven's Inn.
00:42:33Nan checked out two weeks ago.
00:42:35I don't get it.
00:42:37Well, neither do I.
00:42:39Look, these are Nan's books and papers.
00:42:41Go through them.
00:42:42See if you can find anything which might give us a lead.
00:42:44I'm going to pay a visit to a colleague of mine.
00:43:07Oh, Lord of Light, accept this sacrifice.
00:43:37I follow.
00:43:57May I come in?
00:43:58Of course, please do.
00:44:00Take your coat.
00:44:01I tried to phone you last night, but I guess you weren't in.
00:44:04No, I wasn't.
00:44:06Well, do you care to go in the study?
00:44:13Sit yourself down.
00:44:14Thanks.
00:44:18You take a drink?
00:44:19Ryan Soda.
00:44:22Ice, please.
00:44:24What's on your mind?
00:44:26Nan's missing.
00:44:27And she has been since the day after she arrived at Whitewood.
00:44:30Really?
00:44:31You're quite sure?
00:44:32That's what the police said.
00:44:34What are they doing about it?
00:44:36Carrying out a routine check.
00:44:38I don't suppose they can do much more until they've got something definite to go on.
00:44:41I would have thought there was a very great deal more they could do.
00:44:43What?
00:44:44As far as they're concerned, she disappeared two weeks ago and no one in the village seems to know anything about it.
00:44:49What did you come to see me for?
00:44:51I thought you might have some ideas.
00:44:54Why did you send her to Whitewood?
00:44:56Because it was the best place for her research.
00:44:57And you suggested she stay at the Raven's Inn.
00:44:59Sure, it's the only inn there is.
00:45:00But an unlisted phone number?
00:45:02The inn has its own clientele, Barlow. It doesn't need to advertise.
00:45:04How do you know it so well?
00:45:05Because I was born in Whitewood.
00:45:08I see.
00:45:09And you'd have every reason to believe she'd be perfectly safe in going there.
00:45:12I have no reason to suppose that she wouldn't be.
00:45:14Nan struck me as being perfectly capable of taking care of herself.
00:45:18I grant you that, but why hasn't she come back or let us know?
00:45:21Look, Barlow, I can understand your anxiety, but I'm quite sure there's nothing for you to worry about.
00:45:25Nothing at all.
00:45:26She's probably got absorbed in the subject and gone off someplace.
00:45:30I wish that all of my class had heard her application.
00:45:32Yeah, well, I'm going to find out where this application led her.
00:45:35I'm going to retrace every step Nan took.
00:45:38I'm either going to find Nan or know what happened to her.
00:45:51I can't stop you from going.
00:45:53No?
00:45:54I'm not afraid.
00:45:55Afraid? Why?
00:45:56Well, if anything did happen to your sister and somebody else went along to try and find out about it...
00:46:00Same thing might happen to them?
00:46:02Possible.
00:46:03You seem to think something happened to my sister then.
00:46:06No, I just think you're jumping to conclusions, Barlow.
00:46:08Maybe, but I shall find her.
00:46:12Professor Driscoll?
00:46:13Yes.
00:46:14I don't like to disturb you, but may I see you?
00:46:16Well, of course. Please come in.
00:46:18Good luck in Whitewood.
00:46:19Thanks.
00:46:22I'm sorry, but did you say he was going to Whitewood?
00:46:24Yes, he is.
00:46:25Silly to be surprised, but I've just come from Whitewood.
00:46:30Really?
00:46:31It's quite a coincidence.
00:46:32My own family happens to come from Whitewood. As a matter of fact, I was born there.
00:46:35Yes, I know.
00:46:36Please sit down.
00:46:40Would you care for a drink?
00:46:41No, thank you.
00:46:44I think you know my grandfather, the Reverend Russell.
00:46:48Russell?
00:46:49Why, yes, of course I do.
00:46:51How long have you been living in Whitewood?
00:46:52Since my grandmother died.
00:46:54Since my grandmother died a few weeks ago.
00:46:56Oh, I'm sorry.
00:46:58Well, now, how can I help you?
00:47:01I've come about a pupil of yours, Barlow. Nan Barlow?
00:47:05Yes.
00:47:06She came to Whitewood two weeks ago.
00:47:08I met her and liked her, and she told me that she was a student in one of your classes.
00:47:12That you recommended that she stay at the Raven's Inn.
00:47:15That's quite right, I did.
00:47:17Well, that's what I've come to see you about.
00:47:19On the day after she arrived, she disappeared.
00:47:22Oh?
00:47:23After the police came asking questions, her family were worried.
00:47:26I thought you might have their address.
00:47:28And why do you want their family's address?
00:47:31Because I have something of hers I want to return.
00:47:35Well, you just leave it with me, and I'll make sure they get it safely.
00:47:39Well, I don't want to trouble you if you just give me their address.
00:47:43As you wish.
00:47:46Her address is Dorchester Street, 225.
00:47:52She lives with her brother. As a matter of fact, he's a colleague of mine. You just met him.
00:47:55He was leaving when you arrived.
00:47:58Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a lot of work to do. I'm rather a busy man at the moment.
00:48:02Of course. Thank you for your help.
00:48:04Not at all. I hope I've achieved something.
00:48:07Well, you will remember me to your grandfather, won't you?
00:48:09Yes, of course. Goodbye.
00:48:11Goodbye, Miss Russell.
00:48:13Yeah, it's a man's luggage, all right.
00:48:16As far as I know, it's unique. I gave it to her. Where did you get it?
00:48:19The servant at the inn gave it to me.
00:48:21It was strange. I don't think she wanted Mrs. Newless to know I had it.
00:48:24Mrs. Newless?
00:48:25She runs the inn.
00:48:26Well, why did you come here, Miss Russell?
00:48:29I found this.
00:48:33It's a letter.
00:48:34It's a letter?
00:48:35It's a letter.
00:48:36It's a letter.
00:48:37It's a letter.
00:48:38It's a letter.
00:48:39Yes.
00:48:43Professor Driscoll's notepaper.
00:48:45I found it in the pages of a book I lent your sister on her first evening in Whitewood.
00:48:49When she didn't return it, I went to the hotel.
00:48:52What was the book?
00:48:53An old book. A book about witchcraft.
00:48:56Do you believe in it, Miss Russell?
00:48:59I don't know.
00:49:00Sometimes I almost think I live with it.
00:49:03Live with it?
00:49:04It's an obsession of my grandfather's.
00:49:06Up till now, I didn't take him very seriously. He's an old man.
00:49:10Now I'm beginning to wonder if what he says isn't true.
00:49:13What does he say?
00:49:14That there's something evil about the village.
00:49:17On certain nights, the inhabitants leave the streets, close their doors and stay behind them.
00:49:22But on these nights, the dead come to life.
00:49:27That's like Candlemas Eve.
00:49:29What do you know about Candlemas Eve?
00:49:32It's in one of Nan's books.
00:49:37I don't believe it.
00:49:39Things like this don't happen today.
00:49:42In Whitewood, I wonder.
00:49:44I'm going to Whitewood tomorrow after classes. I can give you a lift.
00:49:48Thank you, but I must get back. I can't leave my grandfather alone. He's blind.
00:49:52May I come and see you when I arrive? I'd like to have a talk with him.
00:49:55Please do. It's the house next to the church. Goodbye.
00:49:59I'll see you at the door.
00:50:00Please do. It's the house next to the church. Goodbye.
00:50:03I'll see you at the door.
00:50:30Are you going to Whitewood?
00:50:32Yes.
00:50:33Will you take me with you? It's a dark night for walking.
00:50:48You're Reverend Russell's granddaughter, aren't you?
00:50:51Yes. How did you know?
00:50:53I know a lot about Whitewood.
00:50:55Have you ever been there?
00:50:56No.
00:50:58I've never seen you.
00:50:59To see me is a special privilege.
00:51:01It's reserved for a chosen few.
00:51:04What does that mean?
00:51:08We'll soon be at Whitewood now.
00:51:16As far as I go, you will...
00:51:30She's pretty, too.
00:51:32Yes, she is. Very pretty.
00:51:35A living descendant of those who were cursed.
00:51:39It somehow seems to make it better.
00:51:49Another day.
00:51:51And tomorrow.
00:51:53Another day.
00:51:55And tomorrow.
00:51:58The witch's sap.
00:52:22The witch's sap.
00:52:53Which way to Wampoat Road?
00:52:55Straight ahead.
00:52:56Walking the road, you see a sign, turn left.
00:52:58Are you going to Whitewood?
00:53:00I am.
00:53:01Many people go this way?
00:53:02Not many.
00:53:03Is this the only way in and out of town?
00:53:05In this direction, yes.
00:53:06You wouldn't remember by any chance a pretty girl in a convertible about a month ago?
00:53:10Barlow girl.
00:53:11I read about her in the papers.
00:53:13I've never seen her again.
00:53:14I told the police.
00:53:22Whitewood.
00:53:41Could you tell me the way to Whitewood, please?
00:53:43Another one.
00:53:44Straight ahead.
00:53:45Walking the road, you see a sign.
00:53:46Wampoat Road.
00:53:47Turn left.
00:53:48Takes you right in.
00:53:49Let me warn you, young fellow.
00:53:50You don't like strangers in Whitewood.
00:53:52Okay, fine.
00:53:53Thanks very much.
00:54:20Ah!
00:54:51How do you do?
00:55:16Good evening.
00:55:17Good evening.
00:55:18I'd like a room, please.
00:55:19The inn is closing.
00:55:21I'll only be here a few days.
00:55:23But the inn is closing.
00:55:25When?
00:55:26In two days.
00:55:27Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to stay until then.
00:55:29If you insist.
00:55:34Could I...
00:55:35Could I have the same room my sister had?
00:55:39It's still available, isn't it?
00:55:40Yes, it's available.
00:55:42Mrs. Nollis, you told the police that my sister checked out.
00:55:45You are mistaken, Mr. Barlow.
00:55:47I told them that on the morning of February 2nd,
00:55:49I went to her room and found it empty,
00:55:51her bed not slept in, her luggage and car gone,
00:55:54and her bill unpaid.
00:55:56Well, you can put the charges on mine.
00:55:58When was the last time you saw her?
00:55:59On the evening of February 1st.
00:56:01It was shortly before midnight.
00:56:03She'd been in the lobby here dancing with some of the guests.
00:56:05She seemed to be enjoying herself.
00:56:07Did any particular guest pay a special attention to her?
00:56:11Not that I noticed.
00:56:12Your sister kept very much to herself.
00:56:15Do you know why she came to Whitewood?
00:56:17It is not my habit to inquire into people's private business.
00:56:21Would the fact that she was investigating witchcraft
00:56:23have antagonized anyone in the village?
00:56:26Hardly.
00:56:27There have been other students here, you know.
00:56:29Besides, your sister was a very agreeable
00:56:31and likable young woman.
00:56:33Have you any idea where she might have gone?
00:56:35None.
00:56:38Now, may I see the room?
00:56:40As you wish.
00:56:41It is this way.
00:56:46If you should need anything, and I am not at the desk,
00:56:48you have only to ring the bell.
00:57:16♪
00:57:44♪
00:58:13♪
00:58:35Hello.
00:58:36I'm so glad you've come.
00:58:38I saw your car outside the Ravens Inn earlier.
00:58:40I wondered what had happened to you.
00:58:42I've been talking with Mrs. Newless,
00:58:44and then I took a walk around the village.
00:58:46Find out anything?
00:58:48Everyone here seems to be afraid of something.
00:58:51Then you don't think it's just my imagination.
00:58:53I don't know.
00:58:54Who's to say where imagination ends and truth begins?
00:58:57It's nothing tangible.
00:58:59It's just the way they look at you.
00:59:01I felt it too.
00:59:03May I see the book that Nan borrowed?
00:59:05Yes.
00:59:06I put a marker between the pages
00:59:08where she must have stopped reading.
00:59:10Just sit down, and I'll tell my grandfather you're here.
00:59:13♪
00:59:42♪
01:00:01I warned you, Lucky.
01:00:04Oh!

01:01:26Oh!
01:01:27Oh!
01:01:28Oh!
01:01:29Oh!
01:01:30The master took away my sight.
01:01:33Seems incredible.
01:01:34I have tried to convince others.
01:01:37They too found it unbelievable.
01:01:40But I know these people have a pact with the devil
01:01:44to worship him and do his works.
01:01:47In return, he gives them eternal life.
01:01:51Eternal life?
01:01:52Aye.
01:01:53And to seal this bargain,
01:01:55they must sacrifice a young girl
01:01:58on two nights of the year.
01:02:00What are these nights, sir?
01:02:01Candlemas Eve and the Witches' Sabbath.
01:02:05Candlemas Eve, that's February the 1st.
01:02:09And when is the Witches' Sabbath?
01:02:10Tonight.
01:02:12Now you know why I came to see you.
01:02:16I had no idea it was so late.
01:02:17May I have a rain check on the coffee?
01:02:19I'd like to have a few words with Miss Nullis again.
01:02:22Of course.
01:02:24Good night, sir.
01:02:25Good night.
01:02:26I'll see you to the door.
01:02:30God be with us.
01:02:33Miss Russell, do you think that Nan's disappearance
01:02:35is connected in some way with these witches' ceremonies?
01:02:39Yes.
01:02:41Well, I'd like to come back later, if I may.
01:02:44Please do.
01:02:45And my name is Pat.
01:02:46Mine's Richard.
01:02:47I think I feel better now you're here.
01:02:49Well, I'm going to stay until I find out
01:02:51what's happened to Nan.
01:02:53Take care.
01:03:01Now drink your coffee before it gets cold.
01:03:03You must not see that young man again tonight.
01:03:07Why not?
01:03:08The devil comes in many disguises.
01:03:12I'll get you a spoon.
01:03:17And Father, there's a bird in the drawer.
01:03:20It's got an arrow through it.
01:03:22Go and look on the front door.
01:03:31There's a sprig of wood by it.
01:03:32Shut the door.
01:03:33Shut the door, quick.
01:03:37Grandfather, what does it mean?
01:03:39Now listen, my darling.
01:03:40This is their sign.
01:03:42The witch's sign.
01:03:44What can we do?
01:03:45We must leave here.
01:03:46Leave here immediately.
01:03:54Come on, Dr. Carr.
01:03:55Let's go.
01:03:56Let's go.
01:03:58Dr. Carr.
01:04:12Something's wrong.
01:04:16It wrecked the car.
01:04:18Barlow.
01:04:19Call Barlow.
01:04:20Hello?
01:04:21Hello?
01:04:25Hello, I want the Ravens in.
01:04:34Yes, Mrs. Newells.
01:04:37Mr. Barlow.
01:04:39Is that for me?
01:04:40Yes.
01:04:44Hello?
01:04:45Dick.
01:04:46Dick, I'm in terrible pain.
01:04:47I can't breathe.
01:04:48I can't breathe.
01:04:49Dick, I'm in terrible danger.
01:04:51We've got to leave Whitewood at once.
01:04:52Danger?
01:04:53But from what?
01:04:54We've got to leave...
01:04:56Pat.
01:04:57Please help me.
01:04:58Patricia.
01:04:59Pat.
01:05:11Patricia.
01:05:12Pat.
01:05:19Pat.
01:05:22Patricia.
01:05:25Mr. Russell, are you there?
01:05:35Patricia.
01:05:38What's happened, Mr. Russell?
01:05:40The witches.
01:05:41The witches have Patricia destroyed.
01:05:46Mr. Russell, how?
01:05:48The power of the cross.
01:05:50Use the cross.
01:05:53I adjure thee, O creatures of salt,
01:05:57by the living God.
01:06:02Mr. Russell.
