Murdered for being a Fae Changeling: Bridget Cleary's Tragic Story

The tragic story of Bridget Cleary, often remembered as the last "witch" burned in Europe, is a haunting tale of folklore, superstition, and a community's descent into hysteria at the dawn of the 20th century in rural Ireland. Bridget, a young woman known for her independence became the centre of a chilling saga in 1895 when she fell ill. Her sickness, rather than being seen through the lens of medical concern, sparked wild speculation and fear among her family and neighbors. Driven by ancient Celtic folklore and the belief that Bridget had been taken by the fairies, leaving a changeling in her place, her husband and several relatives embarked on a series of escalating attempts to "cure" her. These included traditional folk remedies and, eventually, a brutal act of violence that led to Bridget's death. Join us and find out more about Bridget's tragic story.
