About this listen

They called it justice. It was fear in disguise. For centuries, people across Europe and the New World believed witches walked among them — casting curses, flying at night, and serving dark forces. But behind the flames and confessions was something older, deeper, and far more human: fear. The Witch Trials explores how ordinary people — driven by faith, panic, and suspicion — turned on their neighbors in one of history’s most haunting chapters. From ancient magic and medieval superstition to the infamous Salem hysteria, this book reveals how belief became law… and how thousands paid the price. Balanced, factual, and thought-provoking, this is not just a story about witches. It’s a story about what fear can do — and why it still matters.
