Synopsis
There’s a long fascinating history of witchcraft and the occult in Ireland with stories so individual, compelling, and eerie it’s surprising they are not more widely known.
John D. Seymour the noted and well respected historian unearths documented cases of witchcraft trials and diablerie in Ireland dating from 1324 up until as recently as 1911. Seymour collects the most revealing and informative examples of the occult in Ireland, cases such as The Enchanted Earl of Desmond who people believed transformed into a giant vulture, and Florence Newton ‘the witch of Youghal’ whose trial for witchcraft was one of the most famous in its day. Seymour also examines the engrossing history of An Irish Prophetess, Sorcery, Raising the devil, Fairies, Apparitions of murdered people, the Island Magee witch trial, Mary Butters the Carnmoney witch, Dame Alice Kyteler, and many other tales of the supernatural.
