    Extra Episode The Triora Witch Trials | True Creepy Stories
    Jan 9 2025
    In this week's extra episode, we have one long piece on the Triora Witch Trials, often called the Salem of Europe. We dive into the dark and chilling history of this medieval Ligurian town, where paranoia and fear led to one of Italy’s most infamous witch hunts.We explore how a deadly famine in the late 1500s fuelled accusations of witchcraft, scapegoating women for crop failures and misfortunes. The trials uncovered alleged covens, sinister rituals, and supernatural curses, with tales of midnight gatherings, deals with the devil, and hexes cast on entire families. Many women were tortured into confessing to impossible crimes, including summoning storms and causing livestock to perish.But was it truly witchcraft? Or a mass hysteria born of fear, religion, and misogyny? We’ll uncover how these trials left a haunting legacy, still present in the cobblestone streets and shadowy corners of Triora today.
