    About this audiobook

    The History and Craft of Modern Day Witches

    Karen Frandsen from Eerie Investigations interviews Jeanette Ellis, lecturer on traditional British Witchcraft, member of PEBL, and author of Forbidden Rites.

    In this fascinating program, Jeanette reveals the truth behind many aspects of Witchcraft:
    -The history of traditional Witchcraft in the United Kingdom
    -How Witches practice their Craft
    -The infamous "Witchfinder General," Matthew Hopkins and how he persecuted supposed deviants called "Witches."

    We also investigate the town of Mistley, home to Hopkins, and visit the infamous Swan Inn, the very location of the Witch trials. The Inn is believed to be the place where Hopkins 'swam' his victims and where he is allegedly buried and has been haunting ever since.
