18th Century, Andrew Sneddon, Body/ Mind & Spirit, Europe, History, History - General History, Ireland, Magick Studies, Modern, Paperback, Thp Ireland, Trials (Witchcraft) - Northern Ireland -In 1711, in County Antrim, eight women were put on trial accused of orchestrating the demonic possession of young Mary Dunbar, and the haunting and supernatural murder of a local clergyman's wife. Mary Dunbar was the star witness in this trial, and the women were, by the standards of the time, believable witches - they smoked, they drank, they just did not look right.With echoes of Arthur Miller's The Crucible and the Salem witch-hunt, this is a story of murder, of hysteria, and of how the 'witch craze' that claimed over 40,000 lives in Europe played out on Irish shores.
