The Pendle Witches (Part One)

from Tales of History and Imagination · host Simone Whitlow

In 1612 Lancaster, England was abuzz with several reports of witchcraft - the new moral panic to have just hit England after a certain King of Scotland got a promotion and brought some strange ideas south with him. The following is the story of how the witch hunts affected two families - the Devices and the Chattoxes. I’ve split this episode into two parts as it was running closer to an hour than the usual 20 minutes in pre production. Part two will be out next week.  The blog post of the episode is here.  Support the show on Patreon for just $2 a month and get access to exclusive content.       Please leave us a like and review.
