Lilias Adie lived in the Scottish village of Torryburn in 1704. She was accused of witchcraft, and after enduring torture as part of her interrogation, she admitted she was.
The hunt for a witch was spurred by the accusation of Jean Nelson (also referred to as Jean Bizet) who'd become ill. Lilias Adie (Lilly Addie, Eadie) came under scrutiny when Jean accused the old woman, stating, "beware lest Lilias Adie come upon you and your child."
