A woman in England has been issued a restraining order after the courts ruled that, just because her neighbor was a grand-high witch who might have cursed her, it didn’t mean she had any right to retaliate by knocking on said witch’s walls at night or throwing golf clubs at her.
While it’s unclear exactly what throwing a golf club at a witch would accomplish aside from getting more curses placed upon one’s head, Hilary Joy Osborne, the “victim” in this case, claims she had to do something in order to combat the evil powers of the witch next door. Lynda Brown, the witch in question—a pagan woman who hosts drum circles—claims she has no idea what Osborne’s talking about and told the courts that she hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since Osborne decided she’s been cursed. In fact, Brown is scared for the well-being of the other people that live in her home and claims that she tries to stay out of the house as much as possible rather than deal with Osborne.
In addition to wall-knocking and club-throwing, Osborne also threatened to burn Brown’s house down, which sounds a little unreasonable but is also the only surefire way to make sure that a witch gets dead and stays dead. From the Central Somerset Gazette:
