Lizzie Baty, the Brampton Witch (1729-1817), lived close to the
village of Brampton in Cumbria and was said to be a 'canny auld
body'. A wise woman, she achieved great notoriety in her day.
Numerous tales and anecdotes have been handed down over the years
relating to Lizzie's 'second-sight', witchcraft and the strange
powers that she appeared to possess. They tell of spells, curses
and prophecies with Lizzie turning into a hare, her knack of
finding lost objects, forecasting marriages as well as strange
happenings at her funeral. This book serves to collect together
these varying accounts and attempts to establish which are fact and
which might be fiction. Whatever conclusion the reader may reach,
the Brampton Witch stories, whether real or imagined, are part of
Brampton's heritage and deserve to be preserved.
