The Poisoners' Cabinet

Ep 132 - Halloween Special: The Pendle Witches


Listen Later

It's our Halloween episode, and we thought it was about time to tell the story of the so-called Pendle Witches.

What lead to so many people being accused of witchcraft in 1612? What crimes were committed? And what would witches make of our cocktail this week.

The secret ingredient is...witchy shit!
