The Witchcraft Chronicles
Losely based on the life of Anna Göldi, the “last witch”!
Innovative, visual, and pulsatingly modern.
They are found all over the world, and every country on every continent has countless examples of them: mystical stories and legends. Tales of ghosts, witches, diabolical rites, mysterious plagues, inexplicable natural disasters, vanished settlements, and even the eerily empty sailing ship that docks precisely in the harbor with not a soul on board.
ANNA, the first season of the CHRONICLES, is based on one of the most famous historical narratives in Europe – the life of Anna Göldi, the “last witch”.
1782, in Glarus, Switzerland: the maid Anna Göldi is beheaded and burned. Allegedly, the “last witch of Europe” had bewitched her employer’s child, who repeatedly spat out Gufen (sewing needles), suffered from violent convulsions, and had a deformed leg.
