Welcome to season 2, episode 1 of Serial Nightmare, a special spooky series I like to do every year just for the month of October. All of my episodes this month will have more of a spooky feel, but I will definitely be adding a dash of true crime content to each!

What could be more spooky than one of the most famous witches of all time? Grace Sherwood, also known as the Witch of Pungo, was accused of killing livestock, bewitching married men and transforming 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 afterall. Unfortunately it wouldn’t be so simple.
