79. The Witch of Saratoga

Is This a Ghost?

This week's story is kind of sweet, actually, in that whole "lonely life, sad witch, botched hanging, way too many cats" kind of way. We expect to receive an offer from the Hallmark channel any second.

This is the story of the Witch of Saratoga. Come for the ghost, stay for a sad sow, bewitching for pleasure and revenge, bench press more weight, England (booo), gig witch, the real estate value of witchcraft, and tasteful 8-bit music.
