<p><b>In 1711, in County Antrim, eight women were put on trial accused of orchestrating the demonic possession of young Mary Dunbar, and the haunting and supernatural murder of a local clergyman¿s wife. </b>Mary Dunbar was the star witness in this trial, and the women were, by the standards of the time, believable witches ¿ they smoked, they drank, they just did not look right. With echoes of Arthur Miller¿s The Crucible and the Salem witch-hunt, this is a story of murder, of hysteria, and of how the ¿witch craze¿ that claimed over 40,000 lives in Europe played out on Irish shores.</p>
