"On November 28,1928, at one minute past midnight, in a sparsely settled area of York County, Pennsylvania, Nelson Rehmeyer, self-proclaimed witch, was bludgeoned to death." This is a true story of witchcraft and murder in south-central Pennsylvania, an area with a long history of belief in witchcraft. Not sure about today, but as recently as the 1970s, practicing self-styled witches could still be found in York.
