Witch Trials 'Brought to Life' by Interactive Tour

A visitor trail about witch trials in the 16th and 17th centuries is being brought to life by augmented reality. The Tendring Witch Heritage Trail is set in Harwich, Manningtree, St Osyth and Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex. Visitors can use an app to watch re-enactments and animations about particular individuals from the area. Organisers said the trail would offer a fascinating insight into the trials, which saw 74 people executed for witchcraft in the county between 1560 and 1680.
