53 - The Burning of Bridget Cleary

In the late 1800s Bridget Cleary was burned alive by her husband, was it because the "real" Bridget had been stolen by evil fairies and had been replaced by a changeling or was it because the you ng and beautiful wife was independent and not financially reliant on her husband in late Victorian Ireland..?

orld Pageant is a historic event that you've probably never heard of. On November 20th 1970, worlds collided with rigging accusations, bombs, thinly-veiled racism and the second wave of feminism, all topped off with a sparkly tiara.
