Overview

We will unmask and trial two witches EXACTLY as they would have been trialled back in the 1600s (well we won't kill them but you know what i mean)

Follow the trail of tears and heart-breaking cries to the different points in town where the trials were held. Witness the debauchery and torture as it would have been (i promise i won't hurt anyone for real though, unless you ask me to?? )

You will also find out about some little known points of history en route.
