Synopsis: | Are You the Wife of Michael Cleary? tells the story of Bridget Cleary, the legendary Irish figure. Bridget Cleary was a 28-year-old seamstress who was murdered in March of 1895 at the hands of her husband and family members. She was very much interested in legends and fairy beliefs and after repeated visits to what was thought to be forbidden land, Bridget took ill. Her condition did not improve and she was given last rites by a priest. As she worsened, her husband became increasingly delirious, believing that his wife had become a 'fairy changeling'. Frustrated at the inability of modern science to cure his wife, Michael Cleary and his family conducted a 'fairy trial' after which his wife was burned to death, supposedly to rid him of this changeling. Eventually, Michael Cleary and others involved were made to stand trial for the crime. But their explanations in court only served to offer more questions than answers. | |||||
