For centuries in Europe, innocent men and women were murdered for the imaginary crime of witchcraft. This was a mass delusion and moral panic, driven by pious superstition and a deadly commitment to religious conformity. In WITCH: A Tale of Terror, bestselling author Sam Harris introduces and reads from Charles Mackay’s beloved book, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.
