The Voodoo Murder of Pennsylvania I: Background
This is what the press called the murder of Nelson Rehmeyer, the Witch of Rehmeyer’s Hollow. The killer’s were John Blymire, 18-year-old Wilbert Hess and 14-year-old John Curry who believed the witch had hexed them. PowWow is the magickal art of the Pennsylvania Dutch used for healing, protection, love and other positive purposes. According to belief, when one is hexed she or he has to find out who cast the hex in order to remove it. Rehmeyer and Blymire were both PowWow doctors, as the magickal practitioners of this art were called. Both were known as healers, although Rehmeyer’s talents were far greater than the younger Blymire’s. Explore the fascinating world of a witchcraft murder and trial unknown to most residents of the Keystone State.

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.

Keavin Lee Terrell, from Baton Rouge, was a 19 year-old serving in the US Navy. Lost in the waters of North Vietnam in 1969, three days before his 20th birthday, his body was never recovered.
