The Legend of Wizard Clip in Northern Virginia
In 1732 a weary stranger fell ill near Clip and, refused a Catholic priest by host Mr. Livingstone, died unshriven. A curse on the house followed with cattle plagues and a clipping witchmark. A priest blessed the threshold, the clipping ceased, and Livingstone donated land to the church now known as the Priest's place.
