The Witchcraft Act of 1735 did not prohibit the practice of witchcraft per se, but rather criminalized claiming a person has magical powers or was practicing witchcraft. It was enacted by the British Enlightenment Aristocracy to force the poor ignorant commoners to quit believing in witchcraft.

It turned out later that the Barham secret was leaked by a secretary of the First Lord of the Admiralty to an official in another ministry. Pillow talk?

A photo someone snapped at one of Mrs. Duncan's seances, where you see the "spirits" she summoned were dolls.

It was finally repealed in 1951.

Kudos to Hansen Baldwin today. He really made lemonade out of the sour lemons of the Italy Campaign.

For some reason Mrs. Duncan's phantoms remind me of this guy:

Sammy Terry photo Sammy_Terry_zps4373561c.jpg

Indy's own "Sammy Terry," host of "Nightmare Theater" on Friday nights. I'm sure Mrs. Duncan was his inspiration. By the way, it wasn't until I was in college that realized that "Sammy Terry" was a play on "cemetary" when one of my friends pointed it out to me. I felt like a total dumbass.

He could also point out that the next invasion will not be on a peninsula dominated by rugged mountainous terrain where our forces can be easily bottled up. I’m sure the next place will be a little flatter than that.

No mountains, for sure, but Mrs. Duncan told me in our last seance that we may have trouble with bocage. Wonder what she meant by that?

The Crown Attorney needs to cut a deal with Ms. Duncan. Get her on the phone with Hitler and we’ll drop the charges.

“Yes, Ms. Duncan, it’s Calais. No, it’s pronounced ‘kallay.’ Yep, Calais...be sure to tell him you have a vision. That’s where we’re invading, and he should put all his tanks in Calais. No, not Normandy. Anything that happens there is just a fake.”

This was NOT a plot element in “Foyle’s War,” but I wish it had been.

Good one. That would make for an interesting episode.

For several years, I wandered by the WWII threads, pointing out, “This was in an episode of ‘Foyle’s War.’ So was that!”
