 | Nurse Rebecca.
X-Files often dealt with the subject of witchcraft. In one episode "Sanguinarium", there was even a character named "Nurse Rebecca". Clearly a play off Rebecca Nurse who was hanged as a result of the Salem Witch Trials. This is certainty a case where truth was not only stranger but more tragic than fiction.
Many people don't realize it but, before the madness came to an end it was beginning to spread. Unfortunately a couple of my cousins were responsible for this. Joseph Ballard Sr. was responsible for bringing witch trials to Andover Massachusetts.
During the Salem witch trials in 1692, Elizabeth (Phelps) Ballard fell Ill. Joseph Ballard Sr. asked for help from several girls who were already accusing people of witchcraft in nearby Salem MA. The girls claimed that several people in Andover had bewitched Elizabeth. More than 40 Andover citizens, mostly women and their children, were accused of having made a covenant with the Devil. After his brother Joseph obtained accusations, as constable, his brother, John William Ballard obtained the arrest warrants.
Three Andover residents, Martha Carrier, Mary Parker, and Samuel Wardwell, were found guilty and hanged. Five others either plead guilty or were convicted but escaped execution, The hysteria was eventually brought to order and those who were not executed were granted reprieves by Massachusetts Governor William Phips, The convictions remained on their records until 1713, when in response to petitions, Massachusetts Governor Joseph Dudley reversed the convictions. |

 | One Breath.
In the episode "One Breath" Scully was visited by her dead father. Rosa Avery made a reappearance at her funeral. In her book "Automatic or spirit writing, with other psychic experiences" Sarah Underwood wrote:
I will try to write you a brief account of my experience, at Rose Cottage on the 12th of November, 1894. It so chanced that I was seated, when the services began, in the back parlor just in front of the mantel, which faces, if you remember, the little alcove, where Rosa wrote. This room was her abiding place—the " home-nest" for her.
The clergyman stood just in front of the alcove. Shortly after he began to speak, I was conscious of a mist rising just at the entrance of the alcove—his words, became to me, more and more indistinct, as the mist took shape, and form—when lo! Before my eyes stood our friend, issuing from the alcove. I saw her dress, even to details—it was a lovely robe—rose-colored with a surplice waist, folding over to the left side, at which point, long ribbons fell. It was not till afterward, that I recognized the significance of the color, which illustrated her love, so marked for roses, while in the body. She passed in and. out amongst the people assembled there, as if at a reception, and finally came and stood before me, uttering in most emphatic tones these words: “E. D., I am risen.”
I was somewhat surprised afterward to learn, that, when, before Mrs. Avery died she was asked if she would manifest herself, when out of the body. Her reply was, ' ' I will come to either Sara Underwood or E. D., for they are my true friends. She has come to me in various ways, since then. At one time, I was running over some chords on the piano—when suddenly Mrs. A. stood behind me—saying, "O, the inexpressible freedom of being able to go, where and when one chooses. " But I have omitted in my descriptions of Rosa's coming on the 12th of November, one of the important points. She was no longer large and portly—only well-proportioned, and young in figure, as in face.
On our way to Graceland, Mrs M.D., and a Mrs. R., were in the carriage with me. Mrs. R. was Mrs. Avery's friend, when they were girls. She voluntarily said to me, knowing nothing of my vision, "Mrs. Avery and I used to wear each other's dresses when we were girls, and, I was much smaller than I am now." Mrs. R. is probably about my size. This establishes to me the youth that returns to us when the body is laid aside. I knew nothing of Mrs. Avery's form in earlier life—but so vivid was she in this vision, that in my thoughts of her now, I never associate her with the large body she wore on earth. |
