Something I often spend most of the year saving up for all of you. Florence Newton, before , led a largely uneventful yet difficult life.

Before the Tudor conquest of Ireland in the s, Ireland was a place steeped deeply in folklore, magic, and wise women.
Certain women held wisdom and knowledge of herbs and healing that the folk of the village respected. Other women with the same knowledge may have been a bit afeared in some places, but they were often left alone to their own devices. However, the Tudor conquest of Ireland began to change that reverence to repulsion. In fact, that respect and fear blended together into the witch hunt that would, eventually, claim over 50, lives. In , Florence Newton, 65 at the time, arrived at the home of wealthy gentleman John Pyne.
Formerly, Florence was a herbalist and it was known she had certain wisdom under her cap. However, she had grown destitute and now often had to beg, especially in the winter. Mary Logdon, the Pyne housekeep, answered the door.

Then, just a few days after that Mary was in bed when she claimed that a ghostly Florence, accompanied by the Devil, appeared to her at her bedside.
