I always wondered if the witchcraft was ever proved? People believe in magic and Shiz but I haven't read anywhere about any "proof" in history. Unless it has and I haven't looked deep enough. Closest I see is those fortune tellers but more than often they are scams. If it really exists then I want to see it damn it LOL.
As a local to Manningtree, they still hold a festival every year dedicated to the victims of Hopkins and I can attest the spookiness of mistley and manningtree

Also, at 2:51- that was actually not a torture device for witches. I just happened to learn this very recently. That head trap was called a scold’s bridle. And it was something that courts could sentence women to wear. You see, in that time, men were able to take their wives to court- like legit take legal action, for “nagging” or scolding a man. The husband would then walk her down the street while the cage is secured to her head and preventing her from speaking. She’s be chastised publicly.
When I saw the title I had a feeling I knew who this would be about. If you want an interesting (mostly fictional take) on Matthew Hopkins, the great Vincent Price played him in “Witchfinder General”
He may not have seen justice when he was alive- I hardly consider dying of tuberculosis just for what he did. But it brings a smile to my face that he is stuck on Earth as a ghost. He deserves to be tortured. And not being able to go to a better afterlife and be stuck on Earth is essentially a form of torture. Doomed to be bound to a piece of land- unable to leave. Unable to do anything fun. He just gets to sit there and think about what he did.
Anyone who showed any type of resistance you were a traitor and with women confidence and independence you were a witch or a harlot. They're were tame compared to the Spanish inquisition.
Funny, I was going to say the same thing about the far left lunatics. But I’ll call it even and say both the far left and far right are completely insane. Edit: both sides have people who take things way too far but that doesn’t mean that everyone on the left or the right are like that.
@@TriuneWorshipper I would like to know the answer to that myself. How exactly is it similar ? I have yet to see anyone drowned or hanged or even put in front of a firing squad. So I am quite curious as to how that comparison has been made…. While I am not a “far right lunatic”, I don’t believe false accusations are fair either, so I require evidence that’s logical facts and not just opinions.
Beware of those who jump to negative conclusions while taking offense. With little to no evidence that their taking offense against someone is justified.
You and the other guy are fabulous at story telling! As a witch, it is so hard to hear about the fates of the women accused so long ago. Today, we are still persecuted. Ignorance still drives hate for witchcraft despite not having any real knowledge of it. So sad
Don’t be silly there’s no such thing as witches. There were people who followed pagan religions eg druids etc who were often accused of witchcraft but nobody actually themselves identified as witches.
Look into the *REAL* reason why Hopkins was going about hunting witches. It wasn't for belief in them and wanting to rid them from the country, it wasn't even to aquire the land and properties of those he accused as being witches (although he did free up a lot of lands for people who wanted it this way). Hopkins was looking for something but died before he could find it.
Anyone could be a witch - unfortunately, single women making their way through life on their own were just particularly easy targets as they were considered 'odd' per default
I learnt this previously in history and it still shocks me how men could just accuse women of being witches
Sounds like witch talk to me.......

Anyone could.. didn't like the neighbors wife? A witch! Didn't like the mother-in-law? A witch! Daughters friend? A witch!
They still do. In many countries and even in the US. Look up pastor Greg Locke in TN

Thank you Dominique🙂 I really enjoy your vids, you have a beautiful well modulated voice, compelling and captivating to the viewers👏
Misogyny and sadism go well together.
Pretty much

U ain't wrong tbh
Dammit! Was just about to comment the same thing!
Yesssss!!!!🤣
LMAO YEAH
Okay this was surreal. My heart goes out to everyone murdered through the hands of wicked men and women.

Wow that’s next level ty
You're right, but maybe it was also used to stop the witches from casting spells....?
Love this host, glad to see this channel is still putting out quality content.

Yes! Another video with Dominique! Awesome. 👌
Goated host, one of the best on this channel
Thanks, Stuart!
Honestly, you should cover the Jillianwala Baugh incident.

Bruh, the Spanish inquisition was nothing compared to the English witch hunt.

scary how similar this all sounds compared to modern far right lunatics..

Yup...
@@teresakirkland995 what accusations who tf is he accusing u just took that personally
Keep this host and I'll watch more videos
What she said.
All I can hear is Ryan and Shane … Mathew Hopkins the witch finder general!
Same hahaha
do you know where Ryan and Shane is? i mean where do they go to in RUclips,
@@kennardmikael they started their own network called watcher. @watcher
Wow I had no idea that Geillis Duncan (Outlander) was based on a real person!
I know right! DG is incredible

fun that this came out soon after the owl house's season 2 finale
really
I think the witch hunters are coming back..
I hope not
@@leahn836 I hope not, but there's definitely signs of that kind of mentality going around..
If that happened, it'd be a very illegal thing...At least in almost every country.
The witch finder General!
Can please explain about count of st germain the vampire of New Orleans
Very interesting
Anybody else think the presenter looks almost exactly like Mathew McConaughey in a wig?
Or if you put a beard on the face..Matthew Hopkins himself😂
The main thing I thought about while watching this video was Ryan and Shane saying “the witch hunter general” in their British accent😭😂😂
Wales, at the time?
Sometimes life doesn't give you what you want,not because you don"t deserve it but because you deserve much more. I’m telling you keep grinding!🤞🏽❤️🔥
Thank you for this brother
You’d think being christians they would deem tourture a sin given jesus was tortured.
Well, they're massive hypocrites.

@@roro-mm7cc Witches have existed ever since humanity. Don't be silly.
@@perfectfae3534 No they haven't there's no such thing. Witches, fairies, pixies, elves etc all fantastical creatures. Not real.
Geillis Duncan? Like from Outlander?
One small thing - Berwick is pronounced Berrik.
Awesome!
Host is great! much better than Aria and the other guy tryna be Ryan n Shane x

How are u not gonna tell us?
Funny how the witches just disappeared once he started hitting the accuser in the pocketbook.
Nice.
lmao
Emperor bellows? Intriguing
WHAT 😳
Let's see how this goes
He Was Gay!!!
Pendle witches were hung in my home city 10 minutes walk from my home.
I bet he had mamy issues that's why he turned on women
Berwick is pronounced "Berrick" not burr wick
Toss a coin to your Witcher
Damn
Yeah...Wales was not part of England (I'm Welsh btw)
witchcraft was used against my family
Please be a lawyer
they were not people
Lol that "ghost man" is nothing more than a random demon assuming his form. Tis all ah ta ta
How the hell would YOU know?
Belos this you?
STOPPP i literally was thinking about him when this dropped
We have Christianity to thank for all of this. So sad.
❤️🔥
where are shane and ryan
🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬
This story could be told today about left wing fascists.
Mysogny had very little to do with these witch hunts
Are they incels ,why did they hate women 🙄. Why is haunting on Friday 🤔
Bruh
I can't tell if this is a man or a woman
Huh?
That's exactly right!
Why’s Shane and Ryan this isn’t the same
Dufus they both left buzzfeed and have their own channel, for several YEARS now
Buzzfeed fell all the way off
