The Secret Village

Massachusetts colony, october in 1666.

22 people die in a mysterious way.

A slave was guilty of witchcraft

and burned at the stake.

The truth about their death

has been kept secret by the villagers,

And was unknown to the outside world

for several centuries.

- Hey, Jess.

- What do you think?

I've thought a lot about what you said.

Can not you give me a second chance?

We have already talked about it.

You can not.

I know, but this I believe.

- This may be the right thing.

- I can not. I must stop.

Please do not do this.

- Who are you?

- Greg. Your new roommate.

Mary rented the other room

to me.

Mary said something about it, but I thought

it was a few weeks.

It was meant,

but Max girlfriend threw me out.

That's why I came here earlier.

- Mary said it went well.

- Sure. Make yourself at home.

- Let me know if you need anything.

- Thank you. I'll do that.

- I have to take out some boxes.

-I got it.

- Thank you.

- What's your name anyway?

- Sorry. Rachel.

- Nice to meet you.

- I'll try to keep it clean.

- Awesome.

'Show me where the boxes are.

Okay-

- Where are you from?

- New York. Upstate.

- Self, then?

- A small town on The Cape.

- The Cape?

- Sorry. Cape Cod.

- Do you have lead in cartons?

-A girl has to work.

- Today's training.

- Thanks for the help.

- I hope it works.

- What?

I'm working on an article. Mary said

that there would be problems.

I promise not to bother you.

I'm easy to get along with.

- Sorry. It sounded unpleasant.

- I can not offend.

- Okay. Thank you.

- Here

Today we will talk about

witch trial in Salem.

It happened here, in our city.

Why were all killed people?

Does it happen still?

- Are you sure you want to do that?

- This is what I've been waiting for.

Do not worry.

I'll be fine, Mom.

- Thanks again for the help.

-Not at all.

- What are your plans for today?

- I'm tired and should get some rest.

- The drive was tiring.

- I'm going away. See you later.

- Okay. Goodbye.

- Bye.

- Yes?

- My name is Rachel.

How can I help you?

I have heard

you can tell us about the resort.

Sure. Come in.

What would you like to know?

Anything you can tell us about the area.

First I want to warn you

for some things.

What?

Many locals do not like strangers.

We do not like change.

The families who founded the village still live

and we are almost self-sufficient.

We do not like them

that threaten our independence.

They do not like journalists-

Or to talk about mj?ldryge-

poisoning or witch trial.

They are sick of the Past

and no one will talk about it.

If you try it's best

that you go from here.

- What do you mean?

- You would soar in mortal danger.

- Why are you talking to me, then?

- There's a reason for that.

I risk my position in society.

But I do not want to talk about it right now.

Hope you understand.

- My name may not be mentioned in the article.

- Self-Klan not. You may remain anonymous.

What can you tell us about

ergot poisoning?

It is a fungus that attacks

rye, wheat and other grains.

When eating fungus infested

legumes damage-

-Central nervous system,

arteries, veins and other organs.

It fits with my research.

What can you tell us about

ergot poisoning in the resort?

It has been more than one outbreak

in the art.

There have been big and small outburst

and has happened in many years.

- Do you know how many people have died?

- It depends on the outbreak it was.

It's been all between 10 and 100.

Oh my God.

This is the largest number of deaths

I've heard of.

We are not proud of.

That's why I warned

whom you talk to.

Do police and authorities

about this?

Are you kidding me?

Have you seen any cops here?

We turn to the authorities.

We take care of ourselves.

Are there any physical evidence of

an outbreak that I can see?

Yes, but you must be

very careful.

There is a secret cemetery

where mass burials have taken place.

You can visit the site,

but you must be careful.

You are in danger of locals

find out what you're doing.

- Are local people really so dangerous?

- So Dangerous?

Yes.

Is there something else I should focus on?

There are a few other things

that can help.

I'll give you a map

and some articles.

Who is it?

- What do you mean?

- There was someone there just now. I promise.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

You should go home. I'll contact you

when we can meet again.

You have to go now.

- Is there a problem?

-You should go before it gets too late.

STOP DIGGING IN THE PAST.

GO HERE!

. Hi

. Hi-

- How was your day?

- Pretty good.

- What are you doing?

- I emailed.

- I have not much time.

- I'll let you continue.

No problem.

See you later. All right.

Sorry.

- Can I ask you a few questions?

- About what?

I am new to the area

and are interested in local history.

- I have heard of ergot poisoning.

- That I do not talk about.

I should probably tell you that it sat

a note on the door yesterday.

What did it say?

Something that I should stop digging

in the past.

And that I should go from here.

What does that mean?

Locals know enough

I'm a journalist.

They may know that you are also here.

- Mary might have said something.

- Yes.

Lokalben Paul told us that locals

not proud of his past-

And does not want to talk about it, but

I think they are trying to hide something.

- Interesting

- Yes.

I'll be careful who I'm talking
