A Story
“In days gone by there were witches and according to the law if they were caught they must be hanged.”
In days gone by there were witches and according to the law if they were caught they must be hanged. One day one was caught and she was compelled to be hanged. When she was on the scaffold the people asked her if she had any requests to make and she said she had one. She asked them for a piece of a rope and the people immediately ran and got it for her. The witch tied one end round her body and she threw the other end into the air. No sooner had she done this than she disappeared for ever.- Collector
