#SamlesburyWitchTrial #WitchcraftAccusations #WitchHuntHistory In 1612, Jane Southworth, Jennet Bierley, and Ellen Bierley were accused of witchcraft in Samlesbury, Lancashire, based on the testimony of a young girl, Grace Sowerbutts. Grace claimed the women had transformed into animals, killed a child, and participated in sinister rituals. Despite lacking physical evidence, the accusations seemed convincing.
