This long-form historical documentary explores her life, her trial, and the wider Scottish witch hunts that shaped her fate. Through archival research and period-authentic engraved artwork, we revisit a time when fear, faith, and authority combined in ways that changed communities forever. Grissel Jaffray’s story is not just a tale of accusation. It is a story of seventeenth-century Dundee — its narrow closes, its kirk authority, its political tensions, and the fragile psychology of a town under pressure. Over time, her memory evolved into local folklore. In the historic grounds of The Howff, some still speak of a quiet Grey Lady walking at dusk — a presence less terrifying than sorrowful. This episode blends documented history with local legend, presented in a restrained 19th-century engraved illustration style. The goal is not spectacle, but reflection.
