A true Tale
In the year 1657 the town of Basingstoke had a witch trial. The accused witch in question was a woman by the name of Goody Turner. Turner had been accused of killing a young boy and bewitching a girl, but the evidence was dubious to say the least.
The boy was called James Searle and he was aged eight when he died. He had been going to play with neighbours children when he had seen Turner. The boy was afraid of Turner and because of this fear he turned to run away over a style. When he turned he felt a blow to his leg and was unable to walk after the blow. Searle lay in bed for the next twenty weeks and became more and more feverish before finally dying.
The case against Turner regarding the girl was even more precarious. The girl suffered from hysterical fits and Turner was the only person who could calm her down when no one else could even hold her By the year of the witch trial, 1657, the practice of burning witches was no longer in use. If found guilty, Turner would probably have been transported. Unfortunately there is no surviving record as to the verdict of the trial, and Turners guilt or innocence.
Does Turner still wander the streets at night does he venture into the infamous Red Lion Hotel., it has been known.
