Rylan teams up with Alice Roberts to look into the rise of the self-styled Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins. In 1645, Hopkins started his reign of terror, arresting and torturing a disabled woman on a charge of witchcraft. Hopkins’ motivations, the abusive techniques he used to extract confessions, and how these methods were exported out of Essex and into the rest of the world are revealed.
