The Wonderful Discovery of Witches in the County of Lancaster.

This is where the whole story begins: Thomas Potts, clerk to the court at Lancaster, published his account of the 1612 trials the following year, and every book about the Pendle witches leans on it. Historian Robert Poole has gently modernised the text and added an introduction, so you can read the original evidence - strange, chilling and often surprising - much as Jacobean England first did.
