Little girl sentences her entire family to DEATH

Jennet Device was a key witness in the Pendle witch trials, which resulted in the execution of ten people for witchcraft. She was a young girl from the Device family, who were accused of practicing witchcraft along with several others in the area. Jennet's testimony played a significant role in the trials, as she accused her own family members and neighbors of witchcraft.

The trials were fueled by superstition, fear, and social tensions within the community. Many of the accused were poor and marginalized individuals, and the trials served as a means to scapegoat them for various misfortunes in the area.

The Pendle witch trials are remembered as one of the most infamous examples of witch hunts in British history, highlighting the dangers of mass hysteria and the persecution of marginalized groups.

Children were actually terrifying at the time, especially since they were generally believed more often about witches because of their ‘purity’ as children
Honestly not sure how she made it to 30 after getting her entire family killed though, didn’t she make herself an orphan child?
