Hex,

The Story

In November 1928, in a sparsely settled area of York County, Pennsylvania, Nelson Rehmeyer, a self-proclaimed witch, was bludgeoned to death. Two days later his body was discovered and the murders apprehended. The accused were thirty two-year-old John Blymire, also a practitioner of witchcraft, John Curry, aged fourteen, and Wilbert Hess, aged eighteen. Their confessions revealed their belief in wtichcraft led to the murder. They believed that Rehmeyer had hexed them. When this case went to court it created headlines across the country. This book looks at this case and at how witchcraft is being practiced, even today, through the Pennsylvania Dutch country.
