The Yorkshire Witch | Full Historic True Crime Documentary

Mary Bateman, the notorious “Yorkshire Witch”, was an 18th-century con artist and murderer whose crimes blurred the line between superstition, fraud, and cold-blooded killing.

Long before the modern era of true crime, Mary Bateman operated in the shadows of Georgian England, selling curses, charms, potions, and “magical” services to the desperate and the superstitious. To the public, she was a healer. A fortune-teller. A cunning woman with supernatural gifts.

But behind the façade, Mary was running a web of deception that stretched across Yorkshire. She robbed families blind, manipulated vulnerable clients with promises of magic, and used fear of the occult to control anyone who crossed her path.

And when swindling wasn’t enough, she turned to murder, poisoning her victims while claiming the deaths were part of rituals, curses, or divine warnings. By the time authorities finally uncovered the scale of her schemes, the “Yorkshire Witch” had left behind a trail of devastation.

In this historical true crime documentary, we unravel the life and crimes of Mary Bateman, exploring how superstition, exploitation, and cold-blooded violence collided to create one of Britain’s most disturbing early murder cases.
