Original Airdate: May 26, 1975

Original Story by Ian Martin, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall

Most of us laugh off the existence of witches, today or ever, particularly today. Yet, even so casual a research source as the daily newspaper would provide us with knowledge that there are covens all over the country and the world, and that witchcraft is on the rise again. Of course, all of them, in their minds, are dedicated to good works as the following tale will illustrate.

I have in my hand a curious little book called The Witch's Almanac. I'm looking at a page which contains a recipe for a witch's broth. Rendered eye of newt. Pressed gall of goat. Extract of lizard's liver. Garnish with fur of bat and minced tail of a poisoned rat. Boil in alcohol and lace with the blood of one virgin. Ludicrous or horrifying. The date of the book. is 17th century but witches still live believe it or not and are busy casting spells
