Seven County Witch Hunts Ep.2 - WHAT WERE 'WITCHES' ACCUSED OF


Listen Later

In the second episode of the Seven County Witch Hunt Project podcast mini-series, we look at the accusations that were being levelled against people accused of witchcraft in the English witch hunts of the 17th century. Were these people in league with the Devil, or did the accusations reflect other tensions within the community? We also dispel some myths about the witch hunters themselves, particularly Matthew Hopkins.


The Seven County Witch Hunt Project podcast series is produced by The Folklore Podcast, and host Mark Norman is in conversation with Professor Marion Gibson and Dr Tabitha Stanmore.


The Seven County Witch Hunt Project was based at the University of Exeter, and funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
