In the second episode of our miniseries on witches and witchcraft, we turn to early modern witch hunts as Mary takes us through the Christian foundations for persecuting witches and discusses some notable publications and witch trials. Who were the Pendle witches? What is the Malleus Maleficarum? And just what does King James VI and I have to do with witches. Join us to find out.

The Ghoul Guides Association, is a show where Dr Lauren Nixon and Dr Mary Going discuss all things Gothic (or more accurately, why all things are Gothic.) Join the Ghoul Guides as they explore the history of various topics across history and pop culture, and their intersections with the weird and wonderful world of the Gothic.
