And from there, the witch hunt descended into chaos.

Among the five accused women, they named nine others, including Cicely Sellis, Elizabeth Eustace, Agnes Glasscock, Margaret Gravel, Annis Hurd, Alice Banfield, Joan Petchy, Anne Swallow, and Joan Turner.

And they were all jailed for witchcraft.

This led villagers to come forward with claims of witnessing the women performing said witchcraft.

Some said the women had even placed hexes on them.

A local shoemaker accused Agnes Glasscock of murdering his child through spells.

Joan Petsche's neighbors said they often saw her talking to herself.

A man accused Cicely Sellis of burning down his barn with magic after he refused to sell her malt.

All of these stories were harmful for the accused women, but the most dangerous accusation was made against Elizabeth Bennet.

William Bonner, a local man, came to Brian Darcy and claimed that Elizabeth Bennett was having an affair with his wife.

Elizabeth denied this, along with any claims that she was a witch, but by then, she was no longer trusted by village authorities, and she remained detained in the cage.

Ultimately, it was too late for the women to save themselves, and all were tried for being witches.

Despite her confession, Ursula received no leniency.

Both she and Alice Newman were charged with murder by witchcraft for killing Grace's baby.

Alice was sentenced to remain in jail and Ursula was to be hanged.

Elizabeth Bennett was found guilty of murder by witchcraft and bewitching William Bonner and his wife.

She was also sentenced to hang alongside Ursula.

The exact date of their executions is unknown, but it's believed to have been sometime in late March, just over a month after the witch hunt began.

It's believed that the two were buried in unmarked graves.

The fate of all the other women is unclear.
