One question that might be swimming around in your heads is “how,” after almost 400 years, could the skeletons of two burned witches still be found where they were executed? Dr Paternoga points out that folk found guilty of being witches “wouldn’t have been allowed to be buried on blessed grounds” and they were often buried where they died.
According to a report in
The Express , based on the research of Anetta Stachoń, the three women who were burned alive were “Regina Wierzbicka from Prandocin, Maryna Mazurkowa of Bochnia, and Borucina of Niedar.” A report from 1995 says when Regina Wierzbicka was tortured, “she ended up admitting that she bought a newborn baby in order to fake her pregnancy so that the man she loved would marry her.” Then, Borucina forced Wierzbicka ’s lover to murder the baby and they, wait for it, “used the child ’s veins in an enchanted decoction.”
