On the last Saturday of October, just as the veil between worlds is sheer enough to allow passage of all manner of otherworldly travelers, something special takes place in Meade County, Kentucky.
A celebration of the life and commemoration of the death of Leah Smock, The Battletown Witch, the only woman that history tells us was burned alive in America for the crime of Witchcraft- and it happened here- in The Bluegrass State.
In 2022, we were honored to speak at the inaugural Battletown Witch festival. Tonight, you’ll hear that presentation in full, as we discuss just a few instances of those, and that, which have been called Witches in and around Kentucky. Additionally, we take a few questions from the audience, and festival organizer Annie Hamilton Edmond tells us the story of Leah Smock- The Battletown Witch- and talks briefly on the UFOlogical history of the area.
While MIK were unable to attend the festival this year, we send our best to both organizers and and festival goers and can’t wait to join you again in 2024. For now, under the moonlight and by the fireside this evening, Midnight in Kentucky presents, Live from the 2022 Battletown Witch Festival: A Brief History of Kentucky Witches pt. 1.
