King James was obsessed by Witchcraft and Roger Nowel was advancing his career..... Jack Straw could have given them a pardon but declined.....A bloke at the pit lived on Malkin Tower in the 70's ...great vid

Sorry to comment again, but this was brilliant and I hope one day you walk over Whalley Nab and into the village of Whalley, there is so much history, I spent my childhood walking over the Nab, around Sabden, Clitheroe, Padiham, Reed, Pendle Hill, Barley, Billington, around Brockhall and many other places in that area, somehow you feel the past, the history, it just draws you in.

I’ve always found the Pendle witch trials interesting and your video definitely didn’t disappoint! Would love to see you cover the stories of each person in more depth. Another fantastic video, well done to both of you

I believe I am related to the ancient Clifton family. I am doing a deep dive on the area. Excellent video. Thank you.

Great video Chris and Vicky, I dread to think what it must of been like back in those day. Living not far from Pendle and all of its history I have heard lots of stories of the Pendle Witches a truly fascinating yet scary tale of our past.

This was fantastic! I’m watching again 🧙‍♀️🖤

I understand that Alizon Device (Davies) was so traumatised by events that she made a full confession. It seems that John Law aka 'Fat Jack' was overweight, carried a heavy pack, and was probably frightened of Alizon knowing her to be a witch and was in a hurry to get away from her. All combining to cause what appears to have been a stroke.

Great content and beautifully presented thanks for the upload watching from Melbourne Australia

I love the Pendle witches, my family come from the area and highly likely to have been in the area in that time period. I have spent a long time researching them and have read Thomas Potts report in full. There is so much conflicting evidence and research into the location of Malkin Towers, some say it's near Malkin farm as it's still named today and others think it's the home that was uncovered when Black lake was drained. The trail of the witches was not the biggest or the first but it was the best recorded thanks or Thomas Potts. which is why it's so well known, for those interested in the back history you need to look towards Europe and the witch killings in Europe - the witch histeria in the UK was started by King James and his publication of the king James bible. The trial of the withes was more to do with Jennett Device who was about 9 years old and taken in by Nowell when her family (grandmother Demdike, Mother Elizabeth, Brother James and Sister Alizon) were locked up and then she gave evidence against all as being witches and is thought to have been fed the information by Nowell who wanted the conviction for his career and be in good favour with the King.

Very interesting and well put together video Chris and Vicky, and great to see the old farmhouse being restored, i found it to be a very active building. Hope to meet up in the not to distant future. And thanks for the video 🌚🖤💀👀🕷️🎥⚰️🧹🧙‍♀️👻

Love this subject of the Pendle witches… more videos would be great!! Thank you!

Living in Lancaster I have always been fascinated by the tragic tales of the Pendle Witches A really interesting video & look forward to more individual stories Thank you both 👍🏻

This was brilliant. Story well told.

Loved this thanks guys, the back stories would be great ❤

Loved this, always been hooked on the Pendle Witches story. Great location and possible discovery of the tower as well! The area alone looks very spooky and it definitely has that strange vibe. Looking forward to the next video and would love to hear more about Alice Nutter one day.

I have heard of the pendle witch story before , fascinating, however you tell it so well and captivate us with interest . Enjoyed the video

Loved it. Came from Burnley and was brought up with this story. ❤❤❤

Its a really well done video on the story, thank you 😊

Loved the video Chris and Vicky. Would like to see more videos of the Pendle witches.

Great video. I enjoyed watching this thanks 🥰 x

Brilliant video I've had a story idea about pendle for quite a while it's a ghost story but with horror elements it's inspired by hereditary I can't wait to do loads of research ❤

Superb Chris and Vicky...well done ✔️ 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Lucky enough to live a short distance from that beautiful landscape, it certainly carries its history, I've heard there was also another possible Malkin Tower site further down near Sabden

I've really enjoyed watching your new videos today I hope you do more like this one lol x😊❤

Superb Video Chris and Vicky...excellent research, collation, delivery and narration..superb standard as always.. gunna give your Channel a shout out in my next video. .people need to know about your awesome Channel. Stay safe both..much love and continued success with your awesome Channel 😊😊😊😊

Great video. However it is well documented that it was illegal under English law to extract confession through active torture for witchcraft. The English of his period were nothing if not litigious so it would be highly unlikely that thumbscrews etc. Were employed.

Brilliant video, and incredibly informative. I knew none of that history at all. Just a quick question, how has your friend concluded the tower was in the field? What evidence had he found? Looking forward to seeing what you caught on camera too...do we hear the scream? Best wishes 😊

Great Thumbnail...Will have to watch this video in full tomorrow ..I am sure it will be excellent 😊😊

Nice One 👍 Peace ✌️ be With You

I just saw some old Hammer movies about Witches , it's amazing how they got many things right, for 1960 s fast made horror movies.

Great video Chris and vickie. I don't believe they was witches maybe a little eccentric for 1612 i would love to visit pendle hill but unfortunately don't think that will happen so im enjoying you telling the story 😊

Great video Chris and Vickey. I think it needs a more in depth approach to the people involved. It was a very superstitious period not just in witchcraft but in religion as well. During this period practising Catholics were persecuted as well. It's no wonder families pointed the finger. In many ways I feel that witchcraft and religion are linked in this period of history.

hello i was born in Burnley i will watch the video

If the two aged women of the families were in their eighties then that is already unnatural for the period. They also believed they had powers. So it's a fair cop really.

❤yes store❤
