Marion Gibson

Marion Gibson’s name keeps popping up if you’re into witch trials, dark history, or just bizarre tales from the past that make modern scandals look like playground drama. She’s the type who dives headfirst into the nastiest bits of history—probably the only person you’ll ever hear say “witch hunt” and mean it literally. In Witches: Truth Behind the Trials (2024), Gibson basically rips the curtain back on centuries of paranoia, showing how regular people—usually women, but hey, men weren’t safe either—found themselves accused of everything from bringing bad weather to cozying up with the devil. It’s not just old school horror, it’s real-life horror, and she doesn’t let you look away. Then there’s When the Devil Came to Salem (2025), which, let’s be real, zeroes in on the Salem Witch Trials like a laser. Gibson doesn’t just toss out facts and dates—she drags you into the chaos, the gossip, the backstabbing, and the sheer absurdity of how fast hysteria can turn neighbors into enemies. You’ll probably end up rolling your eyes at how ridiculous people can be, but also weirdly sympathetic, because hey, humans haven’t changed all that much. And Witches (2024)? That one’s a sweeping tour through the world’s obsession with witches, from medieval Europe to pop culture. Gibson’s got this way of connecting the dots between ancient superstition and the way we still love a good witch story—whether it’s for a midnight scare or, honestly, to remind ourselves that sometimes, the real monsters are the ones pointing fingers.
