A few days later, I was in Aberdeen, immersed in research at the library. My focus was the massacre of 1920 that had made headlines in town. Two young children, aged seven and nine, had disappeared while playing in the woods outside of Aberdeen. Despite extensive search efforts, they were never found.

Eventually, the witches were put on trial and deemed guilty, leading to the burning of their convent and the loss of the entire village of witches.
