In this episode, we delve into the harrowing events of Ireland’s last witch trials, which took place in 1711 in Carrickfergus, County Antrim. The story begins with the sudden death of Ann Haltridge, an elderly widow and the victim of months of supernatural torment. After her funeral, her niece, Mary Dunbar, arrived at the family home, only to fall prey to terrifying symptoms of demonic possession, from convulsions to levitating. 

Over a single month, Mary accused eight local women of using witchcraft to attack her and summon demons. Despite their denials, the women were convicted under the Irish Witchcraft Act and sentenced to imprisonment and public punishment in the pillory. The case took another dark turn when Mary’s health deteriorated further, and William Sellor, a relative of two convicted women, was accused and likely executed for his supposed role in bewitching her.

Tune in as we uncover the details of this little-known chapter of Irish history.
