โ๏ธ Historical Psychic Trials
Throughout history, individuals with psychic or intuitive gifts were often accused of dangerous powers. These trials were more than just legal actionsโthey reflected societyโs fear of the unknown and its struggle to control spiritual expression.
From Europe to colonial America, those who practiced divination, healing, or spirit communication were labeled as threats, often without any real evidence.
๐ Trials Rooted in Fear
Suspicion of the Unseen
People who showed psychic abilities were often misunderstood. Their gifts, especially among women, were seen as suspicious or even demonic by religious and political authorities.
Public Accusations
Many trials were fueled by gossip, jealousy, or community hysteria. Psychic individuals could be accused simply for interpreting dreams or reading signs.
Forced Confessions
Torture, isolation, and threats were used to extract confessions. Many admitted to supernatural acts under pressure, even when innocent.
