To clear her name of witchcraft, Grace Sherwood had to sink.
In 1706, neighbors in Pungo, Virginia accused her of bewitching Elizabeth Hill and causing a miscarriage. A jury of women found two marks on her body.

A photo of present day Gallow Green in Paisley - a walled back green behind tenement flats with a path through the grass leading to a well shaped memorial for the innocent victims of the town’s historic witch trials. It’s a driech day with autumn leaves scattered on the ground & on the memorial.

📜 www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/article/tale... is a brilliant, thorough article that outlines the history, judicial process, expenses etc really well. The case they highlight is a typical one too…

We’re at the WitchTrial phase of science now. Laughable if it wasn’t so terrifying.

The "lung float" test is being used to charge women with murder. Many experts say it's unreliable.

“There’s no way you can determine live birth versus stillbirth with this test," said one doctor, who called the test “an outrageous breach of science.”

A Lab Test That Experts Liken to a Witch Trial Is Helping Send Women to Prison for Murder

I think it's called The Witchtrial Of JK Rowling because the persecution of her went well beyond a few people saying mean things to her on the Internet. The clue is in the title perhaps.

I suspected so. I must relisten to The Witchtrial Of JK Rowling again.

As far as I recall she just didn't want transsexual women to be fully recognised as women at a political level. She felt that it was undermining to the position of born and bred females.

A chaotic medieval village scene unfolds beneath a pale, smoke-blurred sky as a terrified young woman is dragged through a furious crowd during what appears to be a witch trial or public execution. The woman dominates the center foreground, her body twisted violently as she screams in panic and rage. Her face is smeared with soot and mud, strands of dark tangled hair whipping around her head as if caught in a storm of ash and heat. Her worn gray dress hangs torn and filthy across her shoulders and arms, suggesting imprisonment, abuse, or prolonged suffering. Around her, villagers surge inward from every direction. Their faces are distorted with hysteria, fury, fear, and fanaticism. Many are shouting with mouths wide open, their features illuminated by torchlight and drifting embers. Flames flicker throughout the crowd, creating pockets of orange light against the sickly green-gray atmosphere. The image feels claustrophobic despite the outdoor setting, as though the mob itself has become a living wall closing around her. In the background, crooked timber houses lean at unnatural angles through dense smoke and fog. A dead tree rises beside a tilted wooden gallows or hanging post, adding to the sense of public terror and decay. The entire scene is layered with drifting ash, smoke haze, and cinematic grime, giving it the texture of a grim folk-horror film set during a plague, purge, or religious panic. The lighting is low and oppressive, with firelight reflecting across dirty skin, wet fabric, and swirling smoke while the distant sky glows dimly overhead. Keywords: witch trial, medieval village, screaming woman, torchlight mob, folk horror, burning streets, muddy clothing, smoky atmosphere, hanging post, cinematic chaos, plague aesthetic, ash and embers AI-generated; use is permitted for non-commercial creative projects.

Bridget Bishop ⚰️

The 60 year old midwife was executed #OTD in 1692 in Salem 🇺🇸

This was the first witchtrial in Salem and the English woman is the first hanged. She was officially exonerated in 2001 ⚖️

Definitive evidence for a #psychiatric #diagnosis of #megalomania:

Ghislaine Maxwell has compared the frenzy surrounding her trial to the Salem witch trials. In transcripts and audio from her prison interview with Todd Blanche in July 2025, she described the societal reaction to the Jeffrey Epstein case and her own conviction as "like a Salem witch trial".

It's also somehow turned into a witchtrial to repeatedly misgender the victim and most likely ruin their future prospects. It's insanity. No other employment tribunal would be this public.
