Her name was Moll Derry, but everyone knew her as the Witch of the Monongahela.

In the ancient hills and misty hollows of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, generations of locals have passed down stories of a woman with mysterious magical powers. People came from near and far to seek healing and protection through her strange rituals. Some believed she could see the future. Some even believed she could fly.
