The Creepy & Horrifying Historical True Crime Case of Mary Bateman | History Documentary

👉 This is a historical true-crime case from early 19th-century Yorkshire — the story of Mary Bateman, later known as “The Yorkshire Witch.”
Between 1806 and 1808, Mary wove a web of charms, powders, sealed slips and fabricated commands from the revered figure “Miss Blythe,” drawing ordinary families into a ritual chain they believed could turn misfortune aside.
When Rebecca Perigo collapsed in May 1807, the path from superstition to tragedy tightened, leading to Mary’s arrest, the arsenic findings, and the dramatic 1809 trial at York.
Through court records and surviving testimony, this case reveals how belief, fear, and deception shaped justice in Georgian England.
