Immerse yourself in the world of the infamous Lancashire witches, absorb their stories as we walk in their footsteps and attempt to make contact with their restless spirits.
Who were the Pendle Witches?
Back in the 17th century, one of the most famous witch trials occurred in the area around Pendle Hill in Lancashire, England.
Twelve people had been accused of witchcraft, eleven of whom were found guilty. Six of the accused witches were from two rival families – the Demdike family and the Chattox family, both headed by old, poverty stricken widows – Elizabeth Southerns (aka “Old Demdike”) and Anne Whittle (“Mother Chattox”). Old Demdike had been known in the area for over fifty years as a witch. The village knew that she has “magical abilities” to make herbal potions and medicine which wasn’t such a strange or unorthodox thing before the book of King James I. However a fateful meeting between 18 year old Alizon Device and a pedlar named John Law would see Pendle go down in history for it's witchcraft.
