The possession of Elizabeth Knapp of Groton Massauchuetts was documented by Samuel Willard, a prominent preacher in the Puritan, Massuchuetts Bay Colony from October 30, 1671 until January 12, 1672. Knapp, who was sixteen at the time was the daughter of a farmer and the servant in the house of Willard. Her possession, which has striking resembles to those that are seen in Salem some four yers later, serves as an insight into Puritan life and society.
