EP 161 - DAME ALICE KYTELER - THE WITCH!

Written By Dylan Cantu

Happy 3rd Birthday Campfire Adventures! We’ve made it another full year! Thank you to everyone out there in podcastland for listening to our Crazy, Creepy, but Cool stories. It’s been a fun year and I can’t wait to share more adventures and episodes with you for the next year. For this week's episode I wasn’t able to find a story about an Irish Vampire like I've done for the last 2 years, but will a witch work? She is known as the Dame Alice Kyteler and back in the 1300’s she became the reason for the first witch trials in Ireland. Lets see...this episode includes money, power and mysterious deaths. So take a listen and enjoy!
