10 - The Witches - Stories of Power, Fear, and the Courage to Be Different
As Halloween approaches, Margaret takes us on a candle-lit journey through time - from the mists of Pendle Hill to the court of King James VI, and into wartime Portsmouth where a medium named Helen Duncan was tried under the Witchcraft Act.
