| Summary | "Et forfærdeligt Hus-Kors" by Johan Brunsmand is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative details a true story about a haunting and witchcraft in the town of Køge, focusing on the experiences of a couple, Hans Bartskiær and his wife Anna, who are afflicted by evil spirits. The book explores themes of superstition, fear, and the societal impact of witch hunts during a time of intense religious fervor and superstition in Europe. The opening of the book introduces the historical context of witch hunts in Europe, noting their prevalence in Denmark, especially after the year 1500. It begins by recounting Anna's written account of the torment her family faced, starting with unsettling noises and strange occurrences in their home. As the narrative unfolds, it depicts escalating terror, involving not only the couple but also the children in their household, as they confront malevolent forces believed to be unleashed by local witches. This gripping introduction sets the stage for an exploration into how fear and superstition can profoundly disrupt lives and communities. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
