Plaintif
Witchcraft Trials Highlight Fervent Rural Belief in Charms
In a Justice court in a Pennsylvania county, a young man sues his mother over a dog he says she bewitched until it died. Testimony details a local belief in witchcraft and magic, led by Dame Barbara Fischer in the Dunkard settlement, with charms, love and cattle spells, and a ritual involving witch hazel and three hairs from a missing horse. The judge awards damages, while witnesses claim misfortune followed those who opposed the accused witchcraft.
