Within days, her husband and neighbours had convinced themselves she'd been taken by the fairies and a changeling left in her place. What followed was a week of forced \"cures,\" a hot poker, and a fire. Drawing on Angela Bourke's The Burning of Bridget Cleary , this episode traces how a community's belief in the good people curdled into horror — and sets up the trial that would follow.
