Written by:
There’s a witch in your village. Now what?
Who do you call on? How do you know who to suspect? What exactly are you looking for? And what happens when the person who arrives has no official authority whatsoever?
Matthew Hopkins called himself the Witch Finder General. But who appointed him? What did he actually do? And how did he "find" witches?
Jon Briggs and Robin Briggs are joined by historians Marion Gibson and Alison Rowlands to follow the witch hunters across England and Europe, where suspicion, strange tests, children’s accusations and tell-tale marks could all become evidence.
There’s a witch in your village. The really frightening question is who decides what happens now?
