Description:
Join Mary Craig, author of Agnes Finnie, and step beyond the myths into a chilling world where whispers became accusations and accusations became death sentences. Uncover the terrifying reality of Scotland’s witch hunts, where zealous churchmen and unforgiving courts turned fear into deadly power. Hear the true stories: neighbours betraying neighbours, confessions forced in the shadows, and lives destroyed in the name of belief. This is history at its most brutal. Feel the tension. Question the justice. Confront the fear. This event will leave you questioning, would you have survived?
