The Hollow Branch Witch Trial

One summer, many years ago, a small community in the mountains of Kentucky suffered through the worst drought any of them had ever experienced. Searching for a cause for their misery, they found one: an older woman who lived at the head of their holler, Hollow Branch, who many had whispered had unearthly and evil powers based on her reputation as a healer, or granny woman.Before long this granny woman was on trial for being a witch and for bringing the drought down on Hollow Branch.Thanks for listening and for sharing our tales with your friends.
