The Voodoo Murder of Pennsylvania II, the Crime and Trial
The background as to why Nelson D. Rehmeyer, the Witch of Rehmeyer’s Hollow, was murdered has been set in the first part of the Voodoo Murder of Pennsylvania. While the Pennsylvania Dutch and German populace of the Hexbelt of the commonwealth believed in spells, mainstream society thought this was silly superstition. There had witchcraft trials in Pennsylvania and William Penn sat on the grand jury of one of them, but, this was the 1920s. Judges and other elected officials believed that to give credence to the beliefs of the “superstitious” Dutch would make Pennsylvania the laughingstock of the USA. The court wanted to totally suppress any testimony about witchcraft. The press wrote about the sensational trial. This attracted the attention of lawyer Clarence Darrow of Scopes Monkey Trial Fame.

Witchcraft Wars, Trials and Hunts in Pennsylvania
Witchcraft in Pennsylvania? When people think of witchcraft trials, Salem comes to mind. The Keystone State also had witchcraft wars that Salem did not have. Pennsylvania’s witch’s fared better that Massachusetts’s because none were put to death. But, there was no mass hysteria in Pennsylvania like there was in Salem. The Rehmeyer murder resulted in the Governor trying to eradicate PowWow, the magickal practice of the Pennsylvania Dutch, believing it to be silly superstition, but that just drove the practice underground. William Penn, the Quaker founder of the commonwealth took part in the earliest recorded trial. Discover the witches of Pennsylvania.
