Witch pinned down again in Great Leighs by rock collapse
In Great Leighs the famous Scrapfaggot Green witch was pinned beneath a four by three by two foot stone after a bulldozer widened a road. Nine burghers led by Warden Sykes reburied the witch, as Harry Price of the London Council on Psychical Research inspected and ordered the stone reset to face north south. The committee adjourned for drinks while Price prepared to add a chapter to his book.
