Grace Sherwood: The Witch of Pungo

Grace Sherwood, also known as the Witch of Pungo, was accused of killing livestock, bewitching married men and transforming them into animals. Grace denied being a witch, but there was pretty much no way a woman at the time could prove otherwise. Her community thought they could make the final determination through an act known as “ducking”, which would kill most women who had gone through the ritual before. But by some miracle, Grace survived, which should have proved to everyone that she wasn’t a witch after all. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be so simple.
