About this listen

Step into the mist-shrouded hills of 17th-century Scotland and discover the harrowing true story of a village haunted by fear, suspicion, and the echo of ancient curses.
In this new episode of VIVI – Stories of Here and Beyond, we travel to Paisley, a town frozen in time, where the last mass witch execution in Western Europe took place.
Told with cinematic depth and haunting intimacy, this story unravels the tale of Christian Shaw and the tragic events that led to one of the darkest chapters in Scottish history.

🕯️ True crime meets folklore. History becomes voice. And the wind still whispers their names.


🎙️ Written and narrated by Lucia Laura Ferrari

🎼 Music by Kingsley Elliot Kaye, except for the opening and closing theme with bagpipes (from a royalty-free library)
