  • Seven County Witch Hunts Ep.4 - WITCH FAMILIES AND GHOST FAMILIARS
    Jul 21 2025

    In this episode, Professor Marion Gibson and Dr Tabitha Stanmore turn their attention to the families involved in the witch hunts. Were all family members tarred with the same brush? How did dynamics work when families were accusing each other of witchcraft?

    Moving on from this, we also look at the role of familiars - not necessarily the animal familiars which are more well recognized, but ghostly assistance provided from within the family and beyond, and the role of spectral evidence that emerges from this time period.

    Once again, podcast host Mark Norman leads the questioning.

  • Seven County Witch Hunts Ep.3 - GENDER AND WITCHCRAFT
    Jul 8 2025

    The third episode of our mini-series looking at the witch hunts headed up by Matthew Hopkins and John Stearne looks at the most stereotypical of subjects - that of gender. Just how many of the accused were women and how did gender figure in the hunts and the ways in which they were carried out?

    The Seven County Witch Hunt Project podcast series is produced by The Folklore Podcast, and host Mark Norman is in conversation with Professor Marion Gibson and Dr Tabitha Stanmore.

    The Seven County Witch Hunt Project was based at the University of Exeter, and funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
