Witch Hunt

It’s October, it’s blustery and wet and cooling down…and spooky season is upon us. This episode originally aired in October 2016, and it seems timely. As per usual, disregard all affiliate links, mentions of the CSICON network and the History Files Twitter account.

From the original show notes: As Halloween approaches, our thoughts turn to darker topics. This week we take a look at the history of witch hunts, which, it seems, were not always just about witches. Old World and New World, it seems folks just can’t suffer a witch and all that.
