What happens when bad weather, spoiled butter, missing milk, and mysterious injuries all have one convenient suspect?

Apparently...witches.

In this episode of C3: Crystals, Cauldrons & Cocktails, we're opening history's most ridiculous case files and investigating some of the strangest crimes ever blamed on witches.

Discover the folklore behind:

• stealing storms and selling the wind

• milking broomsticks

• fairy kidnappings and changelings

• shape-shifting rabbits and witch hares

• stolen luck, spoiled beer, haunted butter, and much more

Along the way we'll uncover the real historical events behind these legends—including King James VI's witch trials—and explore why societies have always searched for someone to blame during difficult times.

It's funny...

It's fascinating...

And it turns out medieval Europe may have had the world's busiest imaginary criminal.
