Tonight’s story is about a real-life witch hunter, Matthew Hopkins, who exploited the fears and hysteria that surrounded the occult during the 17th century in England to satisfy his own perverse views on so-called sinners. Self-proclaimed "WitchFinder General," he and his associates were responsible for more people being hanged for witchcraft than had been in all the previous 100 years combined. #WikiSleep #WitchHunter #Sleep #ScaryStory #Witchcraft #MentalHealth
