Grace Sherwood: The "Witch of Pungo"
On July 10, 1706, a forty-six-year-old Princess Anne County woman named Grace Sherwood faced an unusual legal procedure. Her hands were tied and she was about to be thrown from a boat into a river as a test to see if she was a witch. For several years neighbors talked of how the midwife, healer, and widowed mother of three had ruined crops, killed livestock, and conjured up storms. Then in January of 1706 Luke Hill formally accused Sherwood of witchcraft. The case passed from the county court to the attorney general of Virginia without any judgment.

Finally, authorities in Princess Anne County ordered that the accused be "ducked" in consecrated water to determine her guilt or innocence. By this ordeal, if she sank she would be declared innocent, but if she floated her identity as a witch would be proven. A spot in the Lynnhaven River, off what is today known as Witchduck Point, was chosen, and Grace Sherwood was bound and thrown from a boat. She managed to untie herself and rise to the surface, proving to those present that she was a witch. As punishment for her crime, Grace Sherwood spent seven years in jail. After her release the so-called "witch of Pungo" returned to her home and lived peacefully until her death around the age of eighty.
On July 10, 2006, Gov. Tim Kaine restored Grace Sherwood's good name, three hundred years to the day since the "ducking" ordeal that condemned her for witchcraft. Learn more

Reviews for "The Ultimate Grilling Experience with the Fire Magic A660 Grill"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Fire magic a660. The grill did not heat evenly, and no matter how much I adjusted the temperature, the food would always come out unevenly cooked. The built-in thermometer was also not accurate, so I couldn't rely on it for monitoring the temperature. Additionally, I found that the grill had poor heat retention, causing the temperature to drop significantly every time I opened the lid. Overall, I would not recommend this grill as it did not meet my expectations for even cooking and temperature control.
2. David - 3 stars - While the Fire magic a660 had some decent features like a large cooking surface and sturdy construction, I was not impressed with its performance. The grill took a long time to heat up, and even at its highest setting, it didn't reach the desired temperature for searing steaks. The grease management system was also subpar, as it did not effectively channel grease away from the burners, resulting in flare-ups. I expected better heat output and control from a grill at this price point. Overall, I think there are better options available in the market.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Fire magic a660, but it fell short in several areas. The grill arrived with damaged components, and it was a hassle to get replacements from the manufacturer. The ignition system was also faulty, requiring multiple attempts to light the burners. Additionally, the cooking grates were difficult to clean, and food often stuck to them, making grilling a messy experience. For the price I paid, I expected better quality and customer service. I would not recommend this grill based on my experience.
