This week on Ghost Bites, Mike and J.T. cast a spell back to 17th-century Lancashire, England, to uncover the grim and legendary tale of the Pendle Witches.
In 1612, a group of ten individuals, mostly women from two rival families, were accused of witchcraft, leading to one of the most famous and well-documented witch trials in English history. From curses and strange illnesses to alleged pacts with the devil, this story has all the ingredients for a truly dark and tragic supernatural saga.
Join us as we explore the paranoia, accusations, and ultimately, the devastating fate of those accused, and wonder if they were truly dabbling in dark arts or just victims of a very bad neighborhood dispute.
