Mary was an English herbalist who was accused of, and executed for, witchcraft in 1603 following the death of a young child named William Witham to whom she had administered a herbal mixture many years earlier
The location and method of her execution are unclear; she was either hanged in York after her trial or burnt at the stake near Castleford
Mary's ghost is said to haunt the woods near Pannal Hill, near Castleford. The suggestion is that if someone sees her ghost, which will be leading a horse, then someone close to them will die
