This week on Text Me When You Get Home, Sophie, Craig and Shaun discuss the abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. The case is said to be the first, and perhaps the most credible, reporting of an alien abduction.

Show notes and episode details available on the Textme.show website episode page.

So, this week, we’re taking a detour from last week’s excursion to the 1950s with Betty, Barney and their sausage dog Delsey, and journey to a small Lancashire town in the early 1600s and discuss one of the most infamous witch trials in British history, the Trial of the Pendle Witches. And we’ll see how paranoia, sectarianism, political ambition, rivalling neighbours and familial betrayal led to trials that saw 10 people executed by hanging for crimes of witchcraft, and in doing so, setting a precedent that would have drastic consequences nearly 80 years later across the pond in Salem, Massachusetts.

This week, we discussed the life and death of John Allen Chau; the US missionary that made it his life’s mission to bring Christianity to the secluded and sheltered island of North Sentinel. The Sentinelese people are known to be hostile to outsiders and have killed people who have come close to the island in the past (even accidentally). John knew how dangerous the trip was but felt the gain outweighed the risk.
