It wasn't gossip and superstition to them, but now we know better. -This piece of history repeats itself until we stop condemning each other all together - today people don't know when they do it either, they just follow and act on what they believe to be knowledge.
What I don't understand is, if witches are powerful enough to kill with a curse or cause a storm at sea, then how are they sitting around in prison and let themselves be tortured helplessly? Does the devil give and take their powers at times? What was the logic? Very interesting, chilling documentary, thanks for uploading!
@@imcopper I'm just reading an article about the argumentation of the prosecutors. It's complicated but interesting to know. Wish the documentary would include this aspect of the trial at least a little.
It's actually quite simple. The prosecutors, the men that went after people accused of witchcraft, were men of God. And, therefore, they were more powerful than anything the Devil could do or influence people to do. They were acting by the grace of God, protected by Him, so those involved with Satan would perish by the hand of God, working through men.
Million dollar question ain't it? quite frankly if I had ANY REASON to think someone could harm and/or kill me with witchcraft, denouncing that person would be the LAST THING on my mind. WHY in the heavens would I GIVE that person a more or less VALID reason to want to kill me????
yup if they didnt bow to vatican, they were burned & renounce Jesus Christ also, where do you think these idiots are now? any clue? I will guarantee you, not upstairs.
It wasn't a gender specific term then and though it seems women were disproportionately targeted many men, even clergymen, were hanged. Much of these rumours were spread by townsfolk and men and women alike showed up to the spectacles of executions. The lesson to take away from this isn't to single out males as more evil, it's that blind adherence to religion is dangerous.
Let us not forget women were quite often blamed as witches by other women. What you are blaming is a cruel justice system fed by superstition. Misogyny doesn't have much to do with it. The system would have been just as cruel to men if men were accused more often.
The story of Seeton’s hand maid is an example of there could be a simpler explanation. Definitely the simpler explanation was she was sneaking out to see a boyfriend but didn’t want to get him in trouble. It had to be witchcraft 😕
amazing how folks use social media to be judge jury and executioner of so many people! How many people in the past month, much less last year, have been wiped out due to so many insignificant things. If you know what I mean...
This tells you that people can do terrible things to others if they live in fear. You have many interesting documentaries. Thank you Dr.Susannah Lipscomb❤
The book that stirred everyone up into the witch trials reminds me of Q Anon. Both getting people scared of things that don't exist and pushing small minds into hating others for no damn reason. Makes it very ironic when Trump using the term "witch hunt".
Nope, couldn’t watch this one. Couldn’t stand watching the woman tortured. Must say though, reminds me of the nut jobs we see today doing unspeakable things to innocent people. Sad!
It really would be terrifying to live in the past. People in those times didn't understand a whole lot about the world and it made them scared and they took that fear out on others in crazy ways.
As a PROUD 3rd generations witch…. Blessed Be. Much love to those who suffered, cried, and burned ❤️ My beautiful sisters 💞 Witch or not - we are the same 💕
Although many are aware of the KJV bible; not as many are aware he wrote a book called Deamonology. I would not be surprised this was a root cause of witch hunts.
I had just recently l learned that in the family history through my grandmother's lineage my ancestor George Curwin was the High Sheriff of Salem Mass. during the witch trials of the 1600s. Horrific things that were inflicted on men and woman during this period of hysteria.
I know its done to demonstrate the kind of violence was done in the primitive times of Northern Europe, but this episode simply depicts the torture too realistically which makes it difficult to watch. I think if people are grown they can understand how bad the violence was without seeing a very violent horror scene of torture. If someone isn't old enough without being shown it , then they'd simply be too traumatized from watching.
Gilly's confession was likely to stopping the raping and abuse. Allison's story is extremely sad - she really had a guilt born of innocence and ignorance. The poor children brought into this. James, with a bit more knowledge, would have ended the whole thing before it could have gotten anywhere.
@@BoneFrossil No. Murder is not finite. The murderer has taken everything that the victim was and could be. This reverberates through time. That crime deserves the harshest penalty. Life in prison isn't long enough to pay for that crime.
Only 20 people were executed in the Salem, USA witch trials from 1692-1693, 5 more died in prison. Not that's a good thing but many people believe 100's maybe 1000's were executed. In Europe I believe it was much much worse.
Because American Society was an transplant of Eu society across the other side of the Atlantic , specially in that era. So the same believes that stir the witch hunts in Europe happened there. Specially considering the Puritanical ways of the first settlers.
@@ruthless4645 In Europe it is believed to have accounted for between 40 000 to 60 000 people executed (Men and Women). While in France or Germany for example it was mostly women, in Finland, Estonia or Russia between 60% to 90% of those accused where men. Most deads for witchcraft happened in the Holy Roman Empire (Germany, the Low Countries, Czechia, Switzerland and Austria) but minor Witch hunts happened in the UK, Scandinavia, Spain, Italy and Eastern Europe.
both Christian IV of Denmark and James VI of Scotland were Lutherans - so I was wondering why the presenter brought up a book authored by a monk and "endorsed" by Rome (kept in the Royal Danish Library) as having directly caused the stir????? those monarchs acted on their own capacities and conviction without backing and encouragement from Rome since they were well already into the Protestant Reformation era by this time..... this is a slippery slope for some who isn't familiar with the history of those era to assume that Rome still have a great sway on the Danish, Scottish and English court by this time - Popish Catholicism was already loathed by these courts during the reign of these 2 kings...

Can we please stop comparing these crimes against women to the political bullshit going on today? No one is forcefully stripping your leaders down, assaulting them, raping them, torturing and murdering them just because they have a suspicion. These were men hell bent on dominating wo.en and having sexual and political power over them. Of course it happened to men too, and we need to remember them as well but the vast majority of victims were young women. Its not okay whats going on now, but its a huge leap to compare it to the collective rape, torture and murder of thousands of innocent womens and men. Its would be like comparing your broken leg to the death of someone else
I'm a bit confused as to how the British Isles wouldn't have had issues with witch hunts and accusations before this particular incident of one king going to Denmark? I guess it's just the wording of it, and this focuses on the "trials" part? Christianity came to the British Isles centuries before this, and would certainly have clashed with the religions already present and caused people to wrongfully accuse each other of all sorts of things. These programs are fascinating, and I love the excerpts from primary sources that they're able to dig up, but sometimes the titles of the videos are a bit vague.
The Catholic Church, for all its faults, didn’t believe that witches were all over place. The infamous Malleus might have been written by a German Dominican Monk, but the Inquisition rejected its findings & recommendations, so the Church rejected it. Protestant Europe, on the other hand, ate it up enthusiastically.

She confessed because to keep resisting meant more torture. She could see this guy would only accept one answer. He probably figured he owned her, so a liaison with someone, whether real or imagined, would've been unacceptable to him. Sick ppl with power. Bane of humanity.
So he found a mole on her and that convinced her to confess that she was a witch I believe she wanted that pain and torture to stop and at that point you will probably say anything I can't believe how people were so ignorant at this time what he did to her and what happen to so many others it's horrible.
Ok, this is for the ding dongs who can't read English . the sentence is broken down in two parts. Why a British king was certain (this means he was sure) that witches existed. It is very clear if you take the time to read it.
Rob Zombie has a great song about the Salem, USA witch hunts called "Season of the witch" quite accurate if you can get past the music. if not just read the lyrics...LOL.
For the love of Jesus has caused so much evil.. Catholic have a strong history of being the bases of the IP community... thankful for the internet to open people eye to religion
at 34:28 she says that "the era of witchunting.....led to the murder of hundreds of people". This is definitely horrible and it is a lot of people. But just for the sake of fact, i want to emphasize that it wasn't like thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands. From my experience many people want to add to the very real severity of the witch hunting by claiming that many more people were killed. Like that it was tens of thousands. It wasn't.
Actually, during this time period to include the Spanish Inquisition.. millions of people were rounded up and accused of being witches. Don’t take my word for it, look it up
There is a book I read at a University in the history course that often the peasants, especially farmers, had various pagan traditions described simply as various rituals and superstitions that were for celebrations of and blessing of the harvests. There was no satan related witchcraft of course. But the clergy and the clerics hated it so they made up stories about something they didn't understand.
Yes, we all know that( those of us with a college education that is).. the belief in witches , and our fear of them is a Psychological study in how religion controlled the masses by ending paganism . There is a lot of Psychological reasons that exist WAY beyond people’s belief and fear of witchcraft then and now.
Reminds me a bit about the insane stuff going on here in South Africa in 2021 sponsored by the currently governing cANCer Government and a certain EFF splinter party. All a bunch of Marxist A-holes of note. Collectively the ANC and EFF have managed to turn a previously pretty happy place then under the rule of Mandela, followed by Mbeki a few years later into the hellhole it is perceived of as now. Appreciate your efforts in documenting ancient GB history and am just reminded of my current status quo. History repeats itself. We have the same shit going on here 300 years later and it is about time we all wake up! Happy Contributions. Good one Suzannah We have a bunch of evil Witches here - suggestions please.
I believe that they do exist and do work for Satan, but it doesn't justify killing innocent people simply because of gossiping and superstition, or them "resembling like one"
Attributing sexual deviancy to ancient torture is such a modern excuse for an easy answer outside of the world of people driven by zeal. If the dude had a history before the accusation, then id be inclined to agree but it seems his methods were specific to "witches"
With the amount of so called witches that were tortured you would think that if there was such thing amd they were real that during all the torture that one would have cast a spell and turned someone into a road or made them die someone or made herself disappear instead of going thru the torture she would have used her powers to realise herself lol. If they were smart they would have said the man torturing them was the witch and he was covering it up that way he would have been killed aswell and ofcourse they would know things said by the king and queen they had servants all around all the time and ears were always listening lol ,but clearly they only confessed to make the torture stop and to get out of living and rotting in the horrible prisons that make them go mad in the head till they believe they were witches
No, today we LIVE the history of cancel culture. The study will be done by our (your) children and grandchildren as another period of cultural insanity.

something convinced a king at the time that witches existed
Has since been fixed.
The same shit the who is doing it’s the great separation and culling of the Herds
What do you think it to mean?
For the love of Jesus has caused so much evil.. Catholic have a strong history of being the bases of the IP community... thankful for the internet to open people eye to religion
It’s a shame they didn’t know the duck thing back then.

25:21 "and it swallowed the witcher whole!"
at 34:28 she says that "the era of witchunting.....led to the murder of hundreds of people". This is definitely horrible and it is a lot of people. But just for the sake of fact, i want to emphasize that it wasn't like thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands. From my experience many people want to add to the very real severity of the witch hunting by claiming that many more people were killed. Like that it was tens of thousands. It wasn't.
Actually, during this time period to include the Spanish Inquisition.. millions of people were rounded up and accused of being witches. Don’t take my word for it, look it up
There is a book I read at a University in the history course that often the peasants, especially farmers, had various pagan traditions described simply as various rituals and superstitions that were for celebrations of and blessing of the harvests. There was no satan related witchcraft of course. But the clergy and the clerics hated it so they made up stories about something they didn't understand.
Yes, we all know that( those of us with a college education that is).. the belief in witches , and our fear of them is a Psychological study in how religion controlled the masses by ending paganism . There is a lot of Psychological reasons that exist WAY beyond people’s belief and fear of witchcraft then and now.
Why A British King Became Certain Witches "Existed"
is it just be or is that not grammarring right haha XD
What country is the arthur from?
Reminds me a bit about the insane stuff going on here in South Africa in 2021 sponsored by the currently governing cANCer Government and a certain EFF splinter party. All a bunch of Marxist A-holes of note. Collectively the ANC and EFF have managed to turn a previously pretty happy place then under the rule of Mandela, followed by Mbeki a few years later into the hellhole it is perceived of as now. Appreciate your efforts in documenting ancient GB history and am just reminded of my current status quo. History repeats itself. We have the same shit going on here 300 years later and it is about time we all wake up!
Happy Contributions.
Good one Suzannah
We have a bunch of evil Witches here - suggestions please.
🤦🏻😤🤬
I believe that they do exist and do work for Satan, but it doesn't justify killing innocent people simply because of gossiping and superstition, or them "resembling like one"
I can’t watch this. I am out at 8:50
Goodbye.. Be well

Attributing sexual deviancy to ancient torture is such a modern excuse for an easy answer outside of the world of people driven by zeal.
If the dude had a history before the accusation, then id be inclined to agree but it seems his methods were specific to "witches"
“ witch hunts” occur on a regular basis in America… the metaphorical “ witch hunt” of course ….
I wonder if witchcraft was happening in America as I other places at the same time.
Salem duh
Yes the American colonies where catching up to what was happening in Europe at the time, but most of it did begin till late 1550's
Anyone else desperately trying to understand the title?
No
✨😳✨The Device family
dysfunctional much?
This still happens in the U.S. just under a different name.
Even the spanish inquisition declared witchcraft didn't exist.
Eeekkkk. Where are your gloves????
They don't use gloves anymore. Proven to be more hazardous to old paper than clean hands.
Replace the word witches with white supremacy and you have American politics
replace the word witches with "hate speech" and you have the American left wing.
With the amount of so called witches that were tortured you would think that if there was such thing amd they were real that during all the torture that one would have cast a spell and turned someone into a road or made them die someone or made herself disappear instead of going thru the torture she would have used her powers to realise herself lol. If they were smart they would have said the man torturing them was the witch and he was covering it up that way he would have been killed aswell and ofcourse they would know things said by the king and queen they had servants all around all the time and ears were always listening lol ,but clearly they only confessed to make the torture stop and to get out of living and rotting in the horrible prisons that make them go mad in the head till they believe they were witches
oh by the way, my stupid brother's a witch too.

Today we study the history of cancel culture
No, today we LIVE the history of cancel culture. The study will be done by our (your) children and grandchildren as another period of cultural insanity.
the only thing fearful in that book is its HORRIBLE spelling. Dear Lord since when is "country" spelled like that? Old English grammar was horrible
