Episode 30 - Malin Matsdotter

Today, we decided to keep with the Halloween theme and take a trip in the way back machine to the 1600s. Malin Matsdotter was an accused witch during the Swedish Witch Trials. She, in fact, is considered one of the more famous witches in Swedish history. Accused by those you would least expect, Malin faced a trial and what seemed like never-ending torture, where she continued to hold her head high and deny all the claims against her. Join us as we go through the events of her trial and what happened after, which makes her so legendary.
