In the small town of Brentwood, Essex, England, a chilling story has been passed down for countless generations originating from the medieval times. It is the story of the notorious Brentwood Witch. Legend has it, a woman named Ursula Kempe resided in the town during the early 16th century. Widowed and shunned by everyone due to her alleged dealings with dark arts, Kempe was a midwife by trade, she supposedly used magic potions and spells to aid the local people with their ailments. However, her reputation soon grew darker when children complained of her bewitchment leading to nightmares and illness. With these accusations, she and three other accomplices were accused of convening with evil spirits and practice witchcraft. After a brief trial, the group was found guilty and executed. To this day, locals state when children experience nightmares, it is Ursula Kempe visiting in their sleep. An annual Witchfinder General event at Mount Hill takes place each year, where tales of Ursula and the dark days of Brentwood unfold. The echoes of these gruelling times of superstition and fear still resonate through the idle chatter of the local townsfolk today.
