In this episode we speak to curator Ben Paites about the new exhibition at Colchester Castle, Wicked Spirits. It explores the history of changing attitudes towards witchcraft in England from the 1500s into the 1800s and focuses on the stories of the accused rather than the Witchfinder General.
Special thanks to Charlotte Evans for talking to us about her time on work experience with the exhibition.
