Transcriber’s Notes
In the shadowed towns of 17‑century England and New England, whispered accounts link mortal women to infernal suitors. From the burned witch of Northumberland to the haunted maid of Oxford, the opening chapters catalogue a litany of cases where devils, cloaked in familiar faces, tempt the faithful. At the heart of this grim tapestry lies the notorious Doll Bilby, a figure whose reputation has survived in court transcripts, parish diaries, and the fevered notes of contemporary demonologists.
The story begins with Bilby's dramatic rescue from a fiery massacre in Brittany, where a British captain saves the infant as soldiers prepare her for the stake. Raised amid superstition and suspicion, she grows into a woman whose charm and ambition draw both admiration and accusations of dark pacts. Listeners will follow her early years, the eerie encounters that shape her thinking, and the mounting forces that set the stage for the fateful judgment that will seal her fate.
