The Most Disturbing Medieval Witch Trials

Video Description

Fear, accusation, and fire—during the height of the witch hunts, suspicion alone could cost you your life. In a world gripped by paranoia and religious zeal, thousands were accused of dark magic, tortured into confessions, and executed in the name of purity. What we now recognize as mass hysteria was once accepted justice. In this 4+ hour documentary, we explore the most disturbing witch trials of the medieval era. From infamous inquisitions and cursed villages to chilling manuals like the Malleus Maleficarum, each chapter dives into true accounts that show how fear and superstition turned neighbor against neighbor. These stories aren’t fiction—they come from real records of real lives lost to one of history’s most terrifying moral panics.
