TV presenter Rylan teams up with anthropologist Professor Alice Roberts to investigate the harrowing witch trials of Essex. They start in 1566 with accusations levelled at a poor family of women from Hatfield Peveril, who are tried before Queen Elizabeth’s own attorney. It’s a test trial of a newly passed Act of Parliament, making witchcraft a felony, punishable by death.

Rylan and Alice Roberts investigate the St Osyth witch trial of 1582. A falling out between friends led to accusations of witchcraft, encouraged by a local magistrate, which ripped an Essex village apart. One woman is claimed to have unnatural, devil-driven carnal desires, while the mysterious death of a young girl is blamed on black magic. Soon a fully-fledged witch-hunt unfolds.
