dang you for taking the high road!

Heh. No prob, we've been accused of witchcraft by the locals before.

When I was a tween, we went down to check out an abandoned farm the county had finally acted on the lien upon and returned to the sale market. Their cool fieldstone barn had been demolished, as had the farmhouse, but there were still bits of trash around: a doll head, a mug, a bent spoon, etc.

Being a tween, I put the doll head on a stick and rattled it around, making stupid voices and stuff. Dad loved it, of course. Then he found a nearly-complete snake skin on our way off the property going back home. He stuck the doll stick on the ground and wrapped the snakeskin around it, we both guffawed, then left.

Cue a month later when the wife of a prospective developer is at a local gathering and she says that she had no idea there were covens and Satanists in the area. Then proceeds to tell my dad about how she found the most disturbing baby doll and snake skin totem at the entrance of the new property. >:)
