So if anybody out there
is a practicing witch who has some very interesting stories to share.
Hit me up because I'd love to interview you and learn more about what it means to be a witch.
But back in the day, back in the 1500s, this was a totally different time period where there was zero understanding or desire to really understand what it meant to be a witch.
And it could have just been somebody who is like a holistic health practitioner.
who was creating tinctures and using herbs and other supplies to try to heal the sick.
And that in itself was considered demonic and resulted in their death a lot of the time.
And just a wild time to be alive.
I mean, anytime I see a film from this time period, I'm always just shocked and...
Bewildered at how insane it must have been to and the fear that many women lived in trying to, you know, practice these things that were very innocent and harmless in nature.
And yet, you know, somebody comes along.
and they have a disagreement on beliefs with you, then before you know it, you could be cast into the cage where you would sit and wait and often be tormented, waiting for your fate to be decided.
I mean, it's just a whole other level of brutalness.
But what if I told you...
that one of the most terrifying medieval witch prisons in England still stands today.
And some say that the spirits of the accused have never left.
In this small village of St.
Ossith sits an ordinary building that the locals call the Cage.
But behind its simple walls lies a chilling history.
In the late 1500s, it was a jail that held women accused of witchcraft during the village's brutal witch trials.
