This episode of 'Witch Hunt' explores the Newcastle Witch-Hunt, its historical obscurity compared to other trials like the Pendle Witch Trials, and the efforts spearheaded by Dr. Katie Liddane to remember and honor those accused of witchcraft. Dr. Liddane, a recent PhD graduate from Northumbria University with expertise in 17th-century Northeast English witchcraft, discusses her workshop at Newcastle Castle for students, outreach efforts, and the importance of memorialization. The conversation delves into the societal and political influences on witch persecutions, the role of witchfinders, and the larger absence of recognition for victims. Dressed as a 17th-century woman accused of witchcraft, Dr. Liddane leads tours to educate and engage the public. The episode emphasizes the necessity of commemorating the accused to acknowledge past injustices and highlights ongoing projects to achieve this goal, including comparing witchcraft heritage and memorialization efforts in different locations.
