It was never explained who set up the fake plane crash (and why). One would imagine it was Simms and his henchman trying to make the village look more dangerous and frightening.

When they arrive, they see Squire Marley nailing the witch's sign to one of the trees. He warns them to leave, saying that Arlene has been possessed by the witch of Salem.
