Chris Lake: These Haunted Islands

The Story of Witchcraft in the Channel Islands
The Story of Witchcraft in the Channel Islands is a 1986 book written by Christopher Lake (often cited as Chris Lake). It provides a historical overview of the witch trials that occurred in the Channel Islands—specifically Jersey and Guernsey—during the 16th and 17th centuries.
The book documents the intense, often savage, persecution of alleged witches in the Channel Islands, which has been described as a "witch-hunting capital of Europe" proportionately to its size.
It covers the period when witchcraft was widespread in Jersey (1600s) and Guernsey.
In Jersey alone, 65 islanders were tried for witchcraft, with 33 executed, mostly by being strangled and then burned.
The book includes historical accounts, discussions of local legends, and connections to the Salem witch trials.
