so anyway do y'all remember the whole Mary's Field witch plot thing I came up with for Witchlings? So anyway I imagine now that that would be a fun little local legend campfire story type thing, about Mary going into the field and cursing the town
Mary's date of death is October 15th, 1712 and every October 15th the town has what's called 'Mary's Festival'. It's just a bunch of partying and games and people talking about our girl Mary Williams
anyway, have Mary's summarized backstory cause I feel like putting it here -
Mary was born on January 13th, 1686. She was the ninth of sixteen children. For most of her life, things were pretty uneventful. It was in early September of 1712 she rejected a man named Frederick Cheeseman and so he accused her of witchcraft, like any reasonable man would do. On the day she was to be hung, Mary somehow managed to escape where she ran to a field and prayed. The men who found her believed she had cursed the town so in order to keep the curse from being all curse-y and whatnot, they renamed the town to Mary's Field in hopes that would keep her spirit happy.
