Kort og sandfærdig Beretning om den vidtudraabte Besættelse udi Thisted

A contemporary pamphlet collects original acts and testimonies about a notorious possession in a Danish provincial town, following a young woman's recurring fits that lead villagers to suspect witchcraft and to accuse an elderly neighbor. Clergy, local physicians, and magistrates assess symptoms, rituals, and confessions; other children exhibit similar afflictions. The narrative reproduces documents and proceedings, highlighting how popular piety, fear, and social rivalries fueled accusations while medical and judicial scrutiny increasingly tempered punishments, marking the decline of large witch-hunts.
