  • Las brujas de Paisley, también conocidas como las brujas de Bargarran o las brujas de Renfrewshire, fueron enjuiciadas en Paisley, Renfrewshire, en el centro de Escocia, en 1697. Christian Shaw, la hija de once años del Laird de Bargarran, se quejó de estar atormentada por varias brujas locales, incluyendo a una de las sirvientas de su familia, Catherine Campbell, a quien había acusado a su madre tras haber sido testigo del robo de un vaso de leche. Siete personas (Margaret Lang, John Lindsay, James Lindsay, John Reid, Catherine Campbell, Margaret Fulton y Agnes Naismith) fueron encontradas culpables de haber embrujado a Shaw y fueron condenadas a muerte. Posteriormente, una de ellas cometió suicidio ahorcándose en su celda. Las otras seis fueron ahorcadas y, luego, quemadas en el Jardín Gallow en Paisley el 10 de junio de 1697, la última ejecución masiva por brujería en Europa occidental. Agnes Naismith maldijo a todos los presentes en las ejecuciones y a sus descendientes y, por muchos años posteriores al hecho, cada tragedia en Paisley fue culpada a su maldición. Christian Shaw se convirtió en una exitosa mujer de negocios y productora de hilos. (es)

Seven people – Margaret Lang, John Lindsay, James Lindsay, John Reid, Catherine Campbell, Margaret Fulton, and Agnes Naismith – were found guilty of having bewitched Shaw and were condemned to death. One subsequently committed suicide by hanging himself in his prison cell. The other six were hanged and then burned on the Gallow Green in Paisley on 10 June 1697, the last mass execution for witchcraft in western Europe. Agnes Naismith cursed everyone present at her trial and their descendants, and for many years afterwards every tragedy in Paisley was blamed on her curse. Christian Shaw went on to become a successful businesswoman and manufacturer of thread. (en)
