Anne ChattoxDisclaimerThis is NOT a page about Wiccans or neo-pagans, and I do not advocate the belief that Wiccans are Satan-worshippers and/or baby-killers. I am well aware that they are not. This is a starting point for historical research into the great witch craze of 1100-1700 AD. And please, don't ask me for spells. Anne ChattoxIn 1612, Anne Chattox admitted in Lancaster of allowing a spirit "to have 'a place of her right side neere to her ribbes for him to sucke upon.' She was also charged that she 'at a Buriall at the new Church in Pendle, did take three scalpes [skulls] of people, which had been buried, and then cast out of a grave...and tooke eight teeth out of the said Scalpes" (A. Harris 9, 10). Lost?Anne Chattox is copyrighted 1998 to Shantell Powell. |
