Part one of a two-part episode about what the hell happened when the entire world went crazy for two hundred years, killing somewhere between 50,000 and 80,000 women. We discuss the circumstances that led up to the Witch Craze as well as the book most responsible for the form it took, the Malleus Maleficarum.
