SPOOKY HISTORY – THE DISCOVERIE OF WITCHCRAFT

Spooky History is a YouTube series looking at the weird, the macabre, the unsettling, and the … well… spooky! In this special live edition of the show, Ash Pryce [co-founder Edinburgh Horror Festival, host “Spooky History”] will chart the history of the witchcraft persecutions and craze set off by King James VI- what caused it, how many were hunted, and how his obsession spread across the World, and was a direct influence on the Salem Witch Trials a century later, and why the shadow of torture still hangs of the Festival City of Edinburgh.
