Ancient anti-witchcraft potion found at old Northamptonshire pub
www.bbc.com

A Victorian bottle thought to have been used to ward off evil spells has been found at the birthplace of a "witch".

Angeline Tubbs, known as the Witch of Saratoga, was born at the former Star and Garter Inn, in Watford village, Northamptonshire, in about 1761.

...

As many as 300 people were executed for witchcraft in eastern England between 1644 and 1646. The laws against witchcraft were repealed almost a century later, in 1736.

So, a Halloween story.
