On the Facebook page there is a newspaper article about the 'last' witch trial

What a shame they only looked up on Wikipedia - well known for being incorrect

The last witch trial in the UK took place during WW2 - April 1944 Helen Duncan

I get so angry when they are so lazy about research...... :-P
