Join me for another True-Crime Style Witch Trial story, that saw three witches (the Samuell family) accused, charged, tried and executed for witchcraft. Including one of the few men who were persecuted in this way.

The episode tells the story of Alice Samuel who, at the age of 76, became the victim of witchcraft accusations by the children in the house she served.

Mass hysteria (or so I believe), ensued, and left 17 members of the household with unexplainable physical symptoms, as well as accusations against Alice.

This heart-breaking account saw Alice, her husband, John, and their daughter, Agnes, being hanged for the crime of Witchcraft.

It was this very case that was also thought to be the one that made witchcraft a felony, which meant it was tried by the court run by parliament, as opposed to being run by the clergy. Unfortunately this meant that many more innocent women's (and some men's) lives would be claimed by this law.

As with all witch trial stories, I will be lighting a candle for:

Alice Samuell
John Samuell
Agnes Samuell

And all the other victims of the witch trials. I will be lighting my candle on 30/6/24 at 7pm, and invite you to join me, either at the same time, or any time that feels right for you.

As always, I would love to hear your thoughts and theories? Were Alice, John and Agnes witches? Was it Mass Hysteria? Or was Mr Throckmorton involved somehow?
