Which one is the witch?
As we have spent a lot of time at number four over the past fortnight, we have got to know some of the neighbours. All have been very friendly and it seems like it will be afine place to live. Apart from the witches of course.
Witches? you may cry in disbelief. But it would seem that at least one was alive and well, living next door to number four as recently as eight years ago. Now no doubt this woman was much maligned and for all I know could well have been one of the Samantha (Bewitched) types. However, her antics, including late night revelry with strange men ( so it's called witchcraft now?) and various police visits attracted lots of attention from the great and good of the street. In fact it would seem she made a bit of a nuisance of herself and when the building was sold she moved on.
When the contractors moved in to gut the place they started with the basement and found various pentacles etched into the floors and, allegedly, lots of black candle wax and dark red stains. Now, it is perfectly plausible that this women was excessively hirsute and had run out of leg wax and resorted to using her last black candles for her legs. This may have set too quickly and caused massive bleeding when ripped off. I was very happy with this explanation ( all my own don't you know) untilComputer Boy founda fat volume of “Satanism and Witchcraft - an introduction” at the back of one of new acquired sheds…
