Click here to watch this episode as a video. The Regency Era is known for its gowns, balls, and Bridgerton-style love stories. But England at this time was also very superstitious, which is how Mary Bateman aka The Yorkshire Witch found numerous ways to grift people. From fortune-telling to magical hens to herbal remedies, Mary found ways to scam people by using their spiritual beliefs against them. We're joined by award-winning author Allison Epstein to cover Mary's lifetime of audacious cons, and how the law finally caught up with her. Learn more about your ad choices.
