Burned For Being A Fairy? Bridget Cleary's Case - Part 1

Bridgie Clairy’s husband set her alight in the middle of their kitchen. He says it was because she was a fairy changeling, a fey creature imitating his real wife. After the good folk - fairies - stole Bridgie away, the only way for Michael to get his wife back was by getting rid of the imposter changeling left in her place. Bridgie would then be returned to him. So he claims. Zoe Delahunty-Light walks you through the tangle of folk belief, testimony, and marital strife to tell you about Bridget Cleary, a smart, unique, and bold woman who deserves to be remembered.
