Its Spooky month so Liv and Ellie are celebrating with a four part Halloween series! Join in the fun as we cover the background to some of the most beloved Halloween costumes; this week, join our coven as we talk all things Witches!
Liv and Ellie talk all things hats, cloaks and why the way someone dressed could be why they were accused of witchery.
