Description

This pamphlet briefly tells the story the Wizard Clip. In this tail, a stranger stopped on Middleway, WV (at the time VA), and was offered hospitality. He became sick that evening, nigh unto death, and requested that a priest be brought. His host refused, so when he died and was buried in unconsecrated ground, the home was plagued by witches and wizard, who would clip anything and everything into crescent shapes. Eventually a priest from the Catholic church was called, and a priest consecrated the grave and banished the wizards and witches.
