Scotland is no stranger to myths and legends, and where these exist - so do tales of witches!
 
Spiral in with me this week as we explore The Bargarran Witch Trials, a case eerily similar to the happenings in Salem years prior;
 
When a child was said to have a curse laid upon her, superstitions flare in this small town, which turned neighbour against neighbour, and friend against friend; as they tried to root out the witches amongst them. 
 
The job was finally taken over by professional witch pickers, before the accused stood trial to see who would pay for this heinous act with their lives.
 
Join me as we see if this was simply a case of mass hysteria, or if the Devil truly did Dance in this small town.
