The Scroll and Handbill
The scroll was discovered by workmen in the former Town Hall.
The workmen also found a handbill, with the following wording:
Strange Newes out of Middlesex
The Most Certain, Peculiar and True Account
of the Twenty-One
WITCHES of
South-gate
Their Reign of TERROR, with a most stupendious view of the late tumults & troubles of that place; the Conjurations & Spells of the Witches and the MURTHERS and Grievous Injuries attendant upon them.
AND: the subsequent Capture and Drowning of the said Witches; their watery Internment and the raising of Trees to contain the further troublesome rising of their Spirits
