In part one of the story of Helen Duncan, we learned about her life and the events that possibly lead up to her being considered one of the last women to be imprisoned under the Witchcrafts Act of 1735. Quite a feat, considering she lived nearly two hundred years after it was enacted! So did Helen have the gift of clairvoyance or was she just another pretender? And how exactly did she die? Some say it was poor health, while others think it was a result of ectoplasmic injury caused by a surprise police raid. Well, let's see if we can get to the bottom of it on today's episode of Idiopathic!
