Ghoul On Ghoul

Amanda and Sarah touch on two wronged women of history with a U.K. case and a famous princess. Sarah takes on Bessie Dunlop, a 16th-century Scottish farmer's wife whose strange encounters with fae folk got her into big trouble. Amanda covers Juana of Castile, a supposedly troubled noblewoman beset by awful, power-hungry men. Other subjects covered include the perils of poison ivy, the many armpits of the body, and the tragic consequences of royal inbreeding.  Recommendations: Amanda recommends the 1983 folk horror film Eyes of Fire.  Sources: “Witch, Fairy and Folktale Narratives in the Trial of Bessie Dunlop” In Fantastical Imaginations: The Supernatural in Scottish History and Culture , ed.
