Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Witchcraft in North Carolina Testimony of a more satisfactory character is furnished by the autobiography of Rev. Brantley York, who was born in 1805. York states that during the early nineteenth century the inbah itants of the Bush Creek district in Randolph County, where he spent part of his boyhood, believed in Witchcraft, Ghost - seeing, haunted houses and fortune telling. When the neighbors came together, he continues, the most prominent topic of conversa tion was relating some remarkable witch tales, ghost stories and conjurations of various kinds; and so interesting was (sic) these stories that the conversation often continued until a very late hour at night. 'often have I sat and listened to these stories till it seemed to me that each hair upon my head resembled the quill of a porcupine. I was afraid to go out of doors, afraid to go to bed alone, and almost afraid of my own shadow. 15 A striking instance of the in uence exerted by witchcraft on the country people of western North Carolina at a somewhat later date is furnished by Mr. Charles L. Coon, of Wilson, to whom the writer is indebted for the use of his collectanea. The events occurred during the second quarter of the last century in an isolated section of Lincoln County originally settled by Germans and a few English. The account as given by Mr. Coon is as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I have Chosen, that is to say, from the enormous mass of material only so much as seemed necessary for my immediate purpose, and on my lack of judgment be the blame for any undesirable hiatus. I have sought, again, to Show whence the witch came and why, as well as what she was and is; to point out, further, how necessary she is and must be to the happiness of mankind, and how great the responsibility of those who, disbelieving in her themselves, seek to infect others with their scepticism. We have few picturesque excrescences left upon this age of smoothly-running machine-wheels, certainly we cannot spare one of the most time-honoured and romantic of any. And if anything I have written about her seem incompatible with sense or fact, I would plead in extenuation that neither is essential to the firm believer in witchcraft, and that to be able to enter thoroughly into the sub.

Nearly two centuries have passed away since the saddest tragedy of early New England history was enacted at Salem and Salem Village. Instead of fading out from the memory of men, the incidents of Salem Witchcraft are receiving more attention to-day than at any former period. The fact of its being the last great exhibition of a superstition which had cursed humanity for thousands of years, and that every incident connected with it has been preserved in the form of record, deposition, or narrative, imparts to it a peculiar interest, and one which will be permanent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Witchcraft in Salem Village At the present day, among communities like our own, we may observe a wonderful change. Among educated people the belief in witchcraft is practically extinct. It has not simply ceased to be taken seriously, but it has vanished from people's minds. We recognize it as one of the grotesque features in an Indian's theory of things, or perhaps we find it cropping out among the odds and ends of diabolism that the negro mind retains from the old stock of African folk lore, but we no longer associate such a belief with civilized men, and a good deal of historical study is needed to enable us to realize adequately its omnipresence only' two centuries ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Salem Witchcraft in Outline: The Story Without the Tedious Detail Having been desired by the heirs of the late Charles W. Upham to draw freely from the His tory, paragraphs from it have been woven into the sketch giving strength to the little story, and serving the reader better than a feminine pen could do. As Salem Witchcraft in Outline has come into being in the same room where the History was born, the writer hopes there may be one point of resemblance between them, a staying quality. That, whereas, her father-in-law earned for his creation a strong foothold in standard literature, the result of her work may be to have fixed certain facts firmly in the minds of those who read them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Witchcraft Illustrated: Witchcraft to Be Understood; Facts, Theories and Incidents, With a Glance at Old and New Salem and Its Historical Resources Just here a glimpse at the condition of the people of Salem Village is necessary. They believed in God they also believed in a personal devil. They bowed to the one, they defied the other. All life was a conflict with Satan and to fight him they put on the whole armor of the gospel and met him face to face. They believed that Satan chose certain men among them as his agents to carry on his work. They believed that Satan was m'ustering his forces to get control of this world; and their endeavor constantly was to drive him from the earth. Witches, ghosts, fairies, gorgons, hydras, and chimeras dire were all realities at that time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
