Seven County Witch Hunts Ep.4 - WITCH FAMILIES AND GHOST FAMILIARS
Description
In this episode, Professor Marion Gibson and Dr Tabitha Stanmore turn their attention to the families involved in the witch hunts. Were all family members tarred with the same brush? How did dynamics work when families were accusing each other of witchcraft?
Moving on from this, we also look at the role of familiars - not necessarily the animal familiars which are more well recognized, but ghostly assistance provided from within the family and beyond, and the role of spectral evidence that emerges from this time period.
Once again, podcast host Mark Norman leads the questioning.
