This week on Lucid Lab we go way back for a wicked history tale that unfortunately seems all too relevant to our current days. In 1612 England, witch fever was at its peak and neighbors began accusing neighbors of witchcraft, many times with little to no evidence. Those accused had no real way to defend themselves against such wild accusations. In Lancashire County, a sad misunderstanding led to one family accusing each other of witchcraft and the star witness, a 9-year-old girl, coming forward to condemn many innocents to death.
We will discuss this story as well as the history leading up to the witch trials in Europe and eventually how this all connects to the horrific Salem Witch Trials that followed in the US many years later where once again, the star witnesses were children. Let’s review this wicked history and discuss how we make sure something like this never happens again in this modern age.
