18 July 1616, nine women accused of witchcraft were sentenced to death in one of the largest witch trials in England. 
This case remains surprisingly little known today yet had a far reaching impact on English Law and an unlikely hero!
.
Held within the walls of Leicester Castle Great Hall, the trials unfolded during a period of fear, suspicion, and deep social unrest, where accusation alone could seal a person’s fate.
.
This event will take you from the talk in the Great Hall Court Room onto a paranormal investigation within Leicester Castle, where strange phenomena have been reported at the mention of the Witch Trials. 
.
We will question why this part of Leicesters history has been hidden?

The Talk will be delivered by Elizabeth Wheelband De Montfort University Museum Curator  and the investigation led by experienced paranormal investigators from Haunted Heritage.
