1886 WITCH TRIALS 1ed Channel Islands Jersey Guernsey TORTURE Salem Devils RARE
The Channel Islands Witch Trials were some of the most prolific witch trials in all of Britain. Occurring for over 100 years beginning in 1562 between Jersey and Guernsey, these witch trials resulted in nearly 100 tortured witches, many of whom confessed to making contracts with the Devil. These trials were especially notable for being a precursor to the famed Salem Witch Trials in New England.
Author John Pitts wrote an important 19th-century history of the Channel Islands Witch Trials – a survey which described confessions, the persecutions, the nature of the witchcraft, and the burnings and tortures!
