Ballyvadlea, Ireland

Okay my dearies, get ready. So in 1895, Bridget Cleary was reported missing from her home in Ballyvadlea. Turns out her husband and father thought she was possessed by FAIRIES, and so they, um, burned her to death. And they apparently convinced a bunch of people to help them do it – 10 individuals were prosecuted in connection with Bridget’s death, including a priest.
