The first comprehensive book on Ireland's only witchcraft
trial
In 1711, in County Antrim, eight women were put on trial accused
of orchestrating the demonic possession of young Mary Dunbar, and
the haunting and supernatural murder of a local clergyman's wife.
Mary Dunbar was the star witness in this trial, and the women were,
by the standards of the time, believable witches--they smoke, they
drank, and they just did not look right. With echoes of Arthur
Miller's "The Crucible," and in fact Mary Dunbar repeated many of
the reports from the Salem witch trials word for word in court,
this is a story murder, hysteria, and how the "witch craze" that
claimed more than 400,000 lives in Europe played out on Irish
shores.
