Hello everyone and welcome back for another amazing episode, well pair of episodes. I didn't want to make it too long, for those of you that listen in during your morning commute or walk. So, I've divided today's episode into two parts. In this first episode I tell the story of the beginning of the Witch Trials in Europe before moving on to their early spread into the colonies of the New World.
I will re-examine some of the European Witch Trials, especially those in England, at a later date but this episode will give you a cursory overview of how the prosecution of presumed witches began and how the stage was set for it to not only follow into the New World but ignite the tinders of the religious zealots that awaited it.
Before you go, remember to subscribe so you don't miss any of the amazing episodes that are coming. As a bit of a treat, I'll have my first guest interview coming to the podcast in the coming months and I'm really excited to share their story!

Bonus Episode: The Wynyard Apparition

Bonus Episode - The Wynyard Apparition
https://linktr.ee/insidiousagendapodcast
Amazing - i'm back to break your airwaves for the second time this week. When Spooky Season was fast approaching, I thought, what better way to celebrate all of these amazing stories than to add a few (shorter) bonus episodes.
Those stories that are amazing in their own way, but sometimes aren't long enough to be a whole episode unto themselves. It might even be something I entertain every so often. So, just another reason to make sure you're subscribed!
This bonus episode comes from my home province of Nova Scotia - a province on the Eastern Seaboard of Canada. It is the story of John Sherbrooke and George Wynyard, two officers in Britain's continental army who witnessed something one evening they couldn't outrightly explain. As for what it was and the story around it - you'll just have to hear it for yourself.
You won't want to miss it, so hit subscribe and then hit the play button!

Bonus Episode: The Harbinger of the Hohenzollerns

Hello everyone and welcome back. I've got another special bonus episode for you today, just for Spooky Season! I hope you enjoyed the past episodes this week that covered the Witch Trials and Europe, the New World and especially those held in Salem. For this story, I'll tell you about the White Lady of the Hohenzollerns. An apparition that was said to not only terrify members of the Hohenzollern dynasty but would foretell great doom and death for their family.
But who is she and what was her story? Her presence has been witnessed throughout many generations of the family so it must have been something horrific to have emotionally tied her to this Earth? The story, no matter which version you hear, is absolutely tragic. In this episode, you'll hear two. So hit the play button and listen to the story of the White Lady, the Harbinger of the Hohenzollerns.
Before you go, remember to subscribe so you don't miss any of the amazing episodes that are coming. As a bit of a treat, I'll have my first guest interview coming to the podcast in the coming months and I'm really excited to share their story!

The Insidious Agenda - Chapter 16 (Part I) - The Early Witch Trials in Europe and North America
Transcript
To truly gain a solid understanding of the mindset and history of the Witch Trials on the continent, we must first go back hundreds of years and begin in medieval Europe. During the Dark ages and the early emergence of Christianity, the existence of Witchcraft and its users was refuted by the Church. It was merely chalked up to being a pagan superstition and out rightly dismissed. Some believe that it wasn’t until the 13th century, through the works of theologian Thomas Aquinas, that
