Carl Kibler, Witch-Hunter of Ellwangen

A princely advisor, Carl Kibler was responsible for the drafting up of a list of thirty questions to be asked of a witch. The questions began by asking

if the accused could say the Lord's Prayer, the Ave Maria, the Creed, and the Ten Commandments, but then moved on directly to the question of who seduced her into witchcraft. How did this seduction occur? Why did she give in? Where? When? What was the devil like? What did he promise? What was it like to have sexual relations with him? Why did she not break off the relationship when she realized that he was a devil? And so on and on (Midelfort 105).
