A Witch Story: Part Two
Author: Michael D. McElwain Source: Review Online (OH)
Title: A WITCH STORY: PART TWO
[Editor’s note: This is part two of a series taking a look at a “witchcraft trial” held in Hancock County in 1969.]
A walk between the tombstones brought back a lot of memories for Tom Tompos.
“It’s been years since I’ve been here,” Tompos said as he looked around Nessly Chapel Cemetery off state Route 2 near the backwaters. “My memory is that there were more markers here, but now I look around and realize this is what it was.”
Tompos made the stroll through the cemetery remembering when, in 1969, a “witchcraft trial” was held in Hancock County.
“This cemetery was said to be haunted with people seeing strange lights around,” Tompos said. “It had a reputation of lights floating off the ground, but those were just the rumors of the time.”
