Mention the Salem witch trials and images of 1600’s Massachusetts instantly come to mind.  But in 1982, one young woman found herself imprisoned, accused of the very same crime, along with a charge of attempted murder. Carol Compton was a 20 year old nanny, transplanted in Italy after following her service man beau home after a short whirlwind romance.  Within days of settling in at the home of her new employer, strange things began to happen. After a series of small unexplained fires and religious relics being ripped from the walls by unseen hands, 2 different families were convinced poor Carol was to blame, and both reported the activity to local authorities. Imprisoned for 16 months, Compton was charged with witchcraft.  Jurors were so terrified of her reported supernatural powers, that they insisted the young woman be kept in an iron cage whenever she was in the courtroom. Was this a case of witchcraft, used with malicious intent?  Or could it have been a poltergeist, brought about by repressed psychic abilities? Thank you for joining us for this installment of the Supernatural Tendencies podcast, where we investigate this strange case and give our opinions on it’s source.
