Show Notes

This week on Lunatic Soup, we’re stirring up the chilling tale of Janet Horne, the so-called Last Witch of Scotland. In 1727, Janet was accused of witchcraft in the Highlands, condemned, and burned alive—her tragic fate marking the final execution of its kind in Scotland. But was she truly a sorceress, or simply a victim of fear, superstition, and a society desperate to root out shadows in the dark?
