Even more dreaded than Old Nance is
the nameless witch of Roam Mountain.
Specific instances of her power are not
so plentiful, but there hangs about her
more of the terror of mystery. What
her name originally was is either forgot
ten or forbidden She is known only as
'the Witch" or 1.-The Witch Of Roam
Mountain" For many miles around 1t
Is believed that the mention of her
brings the speaker in peril of death by
flood, landslide and lightning, her allies
in an unhoy pact. Old man Crowse,
who lives a few miles from the cave
where she spends her summers, once
remarked airily, under the influence Of
moonshine whiskey, that he didn't take
any stock in the Witch, and didn't
darn keer whut she could do, ennyways.
Though the matter could have come to
her ears through no human agency
within an hour she ''witched him clean
crazy" with a spell that lasted for seven
years. For days at time he would be
speechless; then, again, sunk in melan-
choly, changing to violent MANIA wheh
he would rush forth into the stormy
night, running until he fell from ex-
haustion.

lives on the cream of the land. Nobody
would dare refuse her hospitality The
terrified people bow down obsequiously be-
