Pardon plea for last witch


Published on Wednesday 27 December 2006 12:15

A PETITION backing a pardon for the UK's last convicted witch has been launched by a Lothian village.

The Prestoungrange Arts Festival in Prestonpans is organising the petition on behalf of Helen Duncan, a Scot who was imprisoned for witchcraft in 1944.

Mrs Duncan conducted seances throughout Britain but was allegedly arrested because it was feared she would divulge details of the planned D-Day landings.
