The author’s journey into the history of the Pendle witches began in 1984, revealing a scarcity of serious literature on the topic. Growing up in Lancashire, the author was familiar with local myths but found it challenging to separate fact from folklore. Existing local guides often trivialized the witches' story, presenting them through whimsical caricatures rather than addressing the harsh realities of their lives and the societal fears that led to their persecution. This exploration seeks to uncover the truth behind the legends.
