About

In 1751, amid failing harvests and rising paranoia, Ruth Osborne - an elderly and impoverished woman - was accused of witchcraft in the Hertfordshire town of Tring. What followed was not a trial, but a violent ritual of mob justice that ended in her death.'The Last Witch Hunt' reconstructs this overlooked tragedy through historical research and vivid storytelling, exploring how poverty, fear and communal pressure created the perfect conditions for a scapegoat. A compelling work of narrative nonfiction that examines belief, brutality and the human cost of superstition.
