'Hex! Museum of Witch Hunt' Museum Spreads Horror to Visitors

Published October 29th, 2020 - 06:40 GMT

"Hex! Museum of Witch Hunt" in Denmark brings back ancient, dead tools into life, such as the fire crackles and a woman shrieking while flames lick her body, burning her alive.

The museum is located in the home of a former witch hunter in the town of Ribe sheds light on how fear of witches caused persecutions which spread across Denmark and Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The country in the old days was a religious and superstitious Lutheran society as people didn't really believed in the secrets of using magic in order to keep God's wrath at bay.

The museum's historian Louise Hauberg Lindgaard revealed among European countries, around 100,000 people went on trial for witchcraft with almost 50,000 burned.
