Another person, Deliverance Hobbs confessed to witchcraft and also implanted Sarah. The ancestor of Kalani Faagata stood accused of attempting to get Hobbs to sign the “Devil’s book.” Of course, in the days of the Salem Witch Trials, superstitious folk came with some wild stories.

Some witnesses claimed she “afflicted them” from afar, even though they never met Sarah.

Nowadays, a plaque installed 300 years later remembers Sarah. Plus, Kalani herself still carries her bloodline on.
