Malkin Tower

Some have even claimed that they can hear in the middle of the night what sounds like a group of women screaming.

One of the haunted sites in Pendle Hill is known as Malkin Tower.

And this is allegedly the place where all of the accused gathered before they were then arrested.

Visitors have also reported shadowy figures in this area, strange voices and the overwhelming feeling of being watched.

Today, it's established an odd niche by trading on its dark past.

In 1612, the nine-year-old Janet Devis lived in obscurity at her grandmother's house, Malkin Tower.

Malkin Tower.

It sounds grand, but it really wasn't.

Malkin was actually a 17th-century word meaning slattern or slut, and it was still being used in these parts in the 20th century.

Cunning women cure you and find your lost stuff.

Witches steal stuff from you and make you sick or kill you.

At Malkin Tower, Janet lived with her grandmother, her mother Elizabeth, and her elder sister and brother, Alison and James.
