Ep. 33 : Helen Duncan - The Last Witch of Scotland

The most infamous witch trials are synonymous with Salem, but the most recent happened in the UK less than 80 years ago. This week, we'll dive in to the 1944 witch trial of Helen Duncan and the leaked war time secrets that inevitably found her in court. We'll unveil her haunted past and explore the rise of Spiritualism in a country ravaged by war. Was Helen Duncan truly blessed with otherworldly powers? Or was she a clever girl who knew how to work the system? We'll explore all that and more, closing with a delicious Pavlova lovingly made by Halee. Happy Haunting!
