The Last Witch

Based on the improbable true story of the last woman found guilty of being a witch.
 
Helen was a prickly Scottish mother of six eking out a living, traveling around Great Britain as a performing medium. Some would say phony medium. She knew all of the tricks – the trances, the seances, the ectoplasm made of cheese cloth – because, after all, when people want to believe, it doesn’t take much.
 
It was the height of WWII in England, and Helen started seeing images of an explosion along with the faces of young, terrified sailors sinking to their death in a massive ship. Unbeknownst to her, what she was describing in extraordinary detail was the highly classified sinking of the HMS Barham.
 
When word got out, fear swept through Churchill’s administration. The invasion of Normandy was secretly being planned and they began to suspect that Helen Duncan might actually have the power to predict and to reveal details about the invasion.
 
So, to silence her, she was hunted down, arrested, tried and jailed . . . for being a witch
