Description
A look at the folklore and beliefs of the West Virginian descendants of early German settlers. Witchcraft, folk healing, omens and signs, hexes and protections against evil, tales of haunts and spirits, and humorous mischief like "belsnickling" and "shanghai" are recounted. The documentary also shows how these beliefs and folklore have roots in medieval beliefs and religious conflicts brought over from Germany.
