''These Haunted Islands'' the story of witchcraft in the Channel Islands,fascinating read covering the period from 1550 to 1980's ( when the book was written).If there was any doubt that we are/were more civilized than our Guernsey brethren is the fact we only strangled and hanged our witches whilst they burned theirs alive at the stake..... ....

Lots of stirred memories of good/bad/scary/exciting times out with The Mish and The Eskimos.
