Summary
Details

In the chapters that follow, we will walk in the footsteps of the accused and their accusers. We'll explore musty courthouse records, read faded diaries, and piece together the complex tapestry of a world gripped by fear.

From the windy moors of England to the shores of Massachusetts Bay, from the inquisitor's chamber to the gallows, we invite you on a journey through one of history's most fascinating and terrifying episodes.

As we uncover these stories, we'll ask ourselves: What drove communities to turn on their own? How did gender and social status play into accusations of witchcraft? And perhaps most importantly, what can the witch trials teach us about our own world, where fear and suspicion still have the power to divide us?

Join us as we lift the veil on the witch trials, and give voice to those long silenced by history.
