MYSTERY! Do you recognise people in these photos? They are from a collection of papers found under some items donated to a charity shop in Horncastle. They include Austrian papers from 1945 belonging a lady named Aloisia Heidenkummer as well as newspapers from the Bracknell area

A new Witchcraft themed exhibition opens in Lincoln Castles' Magna Carta vault.
Interestingly, @Northlincmuseum has at least one Witch Ball on permanent display. They are fascinating and much under-studied items.

Many years later when the old Night Rider lay dieing in his bedroom in a cottage long since demolished amidst the heather on Kirkby Moor, there was such an awful noise as no one had ever heard. His family fled the house in terror!
To hide their shame his family filled the coffin with stones so that no one would realise what had happened. But on their way to the church they quarrelled - for they were as bad tempered as their father - and the coffin fell and broke open and the truth was discovered.
