The Witch of Pungo/Witchduck Bay

Shelly and Candy are featuring two books for the podcast of one- two stories that are both about Grace Sherwood, who was accused of witchcraft back in the early 1700's. The Witch of Pungo is a selection of stories that take place in what is now Virginia Beach, Virginia. Louisa Venable Kyle wrote the stories and included some historical background after each. William Huber wrote a fictionalized version of what could have happened to Grace Sherwood. He includes lots of places in our local history as well as story lines for the many characters of that time.
