The Pendle witches were a group of individuals accused of witchcraft in 1612 in Lancashire, England. While some scholars argue that the accusations were rooted in social and economic tensions of the time, others suggest that the evidence against them was largely fabricated or exaggerated. Ultimately, many of the accused were executed, highlighting the broader issues of superstition and injustice in historical witch trials. The question of their innocence remains a complex debate influenced by the context of 17th-century beliefs and societal dynamics.
