Halloween Week: The Pendle Witch Trials
Listen now
Description
The Pendle Witch Trials of 1612 stand as one of England’s most chilling examples of mass hysteria and judicial injustice. Sparked by a feud between two local families—the Demdikes and the Chattoxes—the trials led to the execution of ten people from the small community around Pendle Hill, forever marking the region with a legacy of tragedy. This story explores how rivalry, suspicion, and the era’s strict beliefs turned neighbors into enemies and left an enduring cautionary tale.
