De Gert, Berthomine (ca. 1608)
A sorceress of the town of Préchac in Gascony who confessed about the year 1608 that when a sorceress returning from thesabbat is killed, the devil takes her shape and makes her reap-pear and die in her own dwelling so as to preserve her good reputation. But if the murderer has a wax candle and with it makes the sign of the cross on the witch's body, the devil cannot with all his strength remove her and is forced to leave her there.
