What happened to Montrealers who were accused of witchcraft?

Ainslie MacLellan visits the Pointe-à-Callière Montreal Archeology and History Complex in Old Montreal to learn about witch stories from the city’s past, and what they can tell us about attitudes and beliefs in Montreal society over time.
