An examination of some obscure witchcraft cases from Devon's past, using archive records and drawing modern comparisons. There are many famous witchcraft cases which are often written of and discussed: The Pendle Witches, Isabel Gowdie, the Salem Witch Trials and, in Devon, the Bideford Witches. But hidden away in the archives of libraries, museums and heritage centres are records of long-forgotten cases. Many of these are tragic, some are unusual (perhaps even inexplicable) but all are fascinating. This book takes a deep dive through these archive records and brings to the surface a number of accusations of witchcraft in the county which have gone undiscussed for many years. The authors examine the cases in their historical context but also draw modern comparisons in an effort to explain what might have actually been happening to the people involved. Most importantly, they provide a new voice to those whom the historical record has forever silenced. AUTHOR: Mark Norman is a folklore author and researcher. He is a Council member of The Folklore Society, creator and host of The Folklore Podcast and Founding Curator of The Folklore Library and Archive. His podcast has received over 1.5 million downloads and is listed in the top 5% globally in its genre for audience share. Tracey Norman is an historian and author with a particular interest in witchcraft cases. She is the author of the acclaimed play WITCH, using actual witch trial documents to tell the story of a (fictional) woman accused of witchcraft by a neighbour. Tracey co-authored Dark Folklore with Mark for The History Press in 2020 and has also published the pamphlet 'Cards, Cocoa and Charms' which examines some obscure Devon witchcraft cases. Both Tracey and Mark give talks on folklore related subjects and write columns and articles for newspapers, periodicals and websites. 30 b/w illustrations
